BE A GOOD EGG THIS EASTER 

Did you know that much of the chocolate sold in Australia is made using cocoa beans picked by children, many of whom have been enslaved or forced to work in exploitative conditions? The International Labour Rights Forum estimates that more than 1.5 million children are working in the cocoa sector in West Africa, where about 70% of the world’s cocoa is produced.We can all be ‘good eggs’ and commit to using our Easter chocolate dollars to buy slavery-free chocolate. It’s also the right time to tell our families, friends and communities about the exploitation of children in chocolate production. Look for Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance logos on your chocolate wrapper. See poster on Noticeboard.
