These children are sometimes only 7 or 8 years old. They’re fed barely enough to survive, often not paid a single cent, and they’re not allowed to go home -- if they try to escape from their isolated farms in West Africa, they’re brutally beaten by their captors.
Easter is just days away, and they’re both counting on huge sales to boost their profits. But we can use this time to send them a message -- we won’t allow them to avoid their responsibilities.
Please sign the petition help make sure Lindt and Ferrero take action to end any involvement of child slave labour in their supply chains.

Dear all, thank you for getting in touch about this very important issue. Lindt strongly condemns child labor and remains committed to eradicating it from cocoa production. To that end, over the last few years, Lindt has initiated a number of important steps within in its cocoa supply chain and dedicated US $5 million to address this highly complex issue. Please read more on our commitment and stance against child labor here: http://bit.ly/IFC3W9
Greetings from Switzerland
Thank you for your comment and the links to your site. I'm glad you're doing something about this awful situation with the children. I hope also that no children are involved in the processing of your chocolate, and that the words on your site actuallly have truth and substance behind them.
