Pope Francis said that “every person ought to have the awareness that purchasing is always a moral and not simply an economic act”.
World Vision in its 2015 report, Chocolate’s Bitter Taste, estimates that Australians spend up to $3 billion on chocolate a year, with sales peaking at Easter. Much of the chocolate we consume in Australia is made with cocoa beans picked by enslaved children, particularly in West Africa. You can make a difference to the world, and to the lives of these children, by buying only slavery-free chocolate.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Please buy and eat only slavery-free Easter eggs and chocolate this Easter. Look for one of these three symbols on the chocolate wrapper and make a difference. You can find further information about this campaign here: ACRATH - Slavery Free Easter Chocolate
