What the petition asks
Thousands of children from different parts of the world are captured and sold into slavery to work on cocoa plantation farms for the use of large chocolate companies. Sign this petition to help these children gain back their rights and freedom.
There are currently over 27 million slaves world-wide and 9 million of these are children sold into various trades.
We want to help tackle this issue by first tackling the chocolate trade by banning chocolate that is cultivated by children from entering the UK. This ban would raise world-wide awareness on an issue, which is currently being ignored.
