Child Labour in Cocoa Farming Draws Renewed Attention

Original: 1,5 Millionen Kinder arbeiten in Afrika im Kakaoanbau. Dass dort auch Sklaverei herrscht, verdeutlicht der Roman The Bit

An estimated 1.5 million children work in cocoa farming in West Africa, and the young adult novel The Bitter Side of Sweet by Tara Sullivan is being cited as shedding light on conditions that include modern slavery. Readers responding to the book say it has prompted them to pay closer attention to buying chocolate produced without exploitation.

Why now: The novel The Bitter Side of Sweet is drawing attention to child labour and slavery in cocoa production.
