Slaving to Make Goods For us

Over two hundred million children around the world, some as young as four and five years old, are slaves. A majority of the children work in Asia, especially in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia–slaving away to make goods for us to buy in K-Mart and Wal-Mart... “Child slave labor [is] used to produce chocolate in the Ivory Coast. It produces 43 percent of the world’s cocoa beans ... harvested and processed by children between the ages of 12 and 14, and sometimes younger.” (Alison Bucklin - Cermon Central)
