  5. Facts • Cote d’Ivoire is a country in the west of Africa which produces more than 40% of the world’s cocoa crop. • In 2001 reports confirmed widespread child labour on cocoa farms in Cote d’Ivoire and hundreds of children being trafficked from nearby Mali. The conditions these children were working in were characterised as dangerous and they were forced to work long hours. • Industry said they would guarantee the end of trafficked labour in the cocoa industry by 2005. They have failed to do this. They say they will cover half the farms in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire by 2008, but of the 600,000 farms they have only reached 88.

  6. More Facts • STOP THE TRAFFIK is calling for chocolate to have a Traffik Free Guarantee. • STOP THE TRAFFIK is asking industry to sign up to our Chocolate Pledge, which is already endorsed by 40 organisations.

  7. STOP THE TRAFFIK Easter Chocolate Campaign Goals The customers need to know who picked the cocoa beans that makes their chocolate. The retailer needs to know that their customers will change what they buy to force the chocolate industry to change their practices. The chocolate manufacturers need to: SIGN THE CHOCOLATE PLEDGE KEEP THEIR ORIGINAL PROMISES GIVE US TRAFFIK FREE CHOCOLATE NOW

  8. On the very first day, the farmer took our luggage and locked it away. He ordered us to move heavy sacks of cocoa. They were so heavy I could barely lift it. One boy could not lift his sacks. The farmer took a branch off a tree and started whipping him. He beat him until all his body was covered in cuts and blood. At that moment, I know he would beat us, too. We have never tasted chocolate...our bosses never tasted chocolate...we work hard to pick the cocoa beans in the hot sun for 12 hours...no breaks...if we sit…we are dead…Sylla, 15 year old boySave The Children 2005
