Canada consumes about 180,500,000 kilogram of chocolate every year.Most of that chocolate is put together by African children who were forced by big named brands to collect cocoa.This is called child labor and slavery.Some children are forced to take a chainsaw and cut trees and others climb cocoa trees to cut bean pods using a machete.These large, dangerous, heavy tools that these children use violates a international labor law made by the UN.Also the children would have to cut the pod open with a machete and if you didn't cut the pod open fast enough you would get beaten.The children who are trafficked into Western Africa do work without pay.The children also get whipped if they work to slowly and if they try to escape.Children get severely beaten if they try to escape.
