The Dark Side of Chocolate

"The Dark Side of Chocolate" highlights issues like child labor, exploitation, and poor working conditions often linked to the cocoa industry. Many children and vulnerable workers are trafficked or coerced into harvesting cocoa beans under dangerous conditions, especially in West Africa. Despite the popular perception of chocolate as a treat, its production can involve unethical practices that sustain poverty and inequality. Raising awareness encourages consumers to choose ethically sourced products, supporting fair labor practices and environmental sustainability in cocoa farming.
