The chocolate industry currently employs over 3.6 million children who work on cocoa farms in places like western Africa. These children work as slaves, enduring exploitation and harsh working conditions. Big chocolate companies like Cargill, Hershey, and Mars are behind this kind of corruption, often using shady business techniques to sidestep regulations and keep labor prices low.

Large corporations such as these know better than to outsource labor in this manner. Many businesses in the food industry have found ways to make sure their products are fair-trade, and there is no reason Cargill, Hershey, and Mars can't do the same. **Sign the petition telling the CEOs of these firms to stop promoting child slavery and sell only fair-trade chocolate.**
