Two million children world-wide, working themselves almost to death, just to feed our insatiable chocolate habits

World Vision, a worldwide non-profit organization said that “95% of chocolate is not certified free of child or forced labour”. Children as young as 8 can be sold or even forced into slavery by local ‘agents’, working on behalf of the corporate ‘Barons of Chocolate’; specifically, in order to recruit the cheapest of workers for their cocoa plantations. Over worked, and severely under paid; these children quite easily and secretly become, nameless, faceless, child labourers, used and abused for the sole purpose of increasing the global chocolate profits!
