*[Enwl-eng] Hershey's and Nestle are still using child labor for Halloween candy

[ENWL]

            Hershey's, Mars, and Nestlé still use child slavery to produce 
their chocolate!

                 Cocoa production is one of the most dangerous forms of 
child labor. While working long hours on cocoa farms in West Africa — 
usually from sun up to sun down — young children are exposed to dozens of 
different toxic pesticides and expected to use machetes and other dangerous 
equipment, and even to carry around hundreds of pounds of bean pods. Many of 
these exploited children are forced into this work because of poverty, and 
as a result, do not attend school and often go many months without seeing 
their family. And even though major chocolate producers claim otherwise, 
investigative journalism proves these corporations continue to rely on 
dangerous and exploitative child labor.

                  As Halloween approaches, it is more important than ever 
that we demand these highly profitable companies stop relying on child 
slavery to make their chocolate. These corporations are about to make 
millions of dollars in seasonal candy sales. In 2020 alone, Hershey's made 
3.7 billion dollars in profit. How much of that money was made off of the 
backs of children? It is up to us to put pressure on these companies and 
tell them: we will not buy chocolate made from child slaves! Sign the 
petition to demand that Hersey's, Nestlé, and Mars finally and truly end 
the inhumane use of child labor now!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda

                  P.S. Illegal child labor is rampant on West African farms 
where chocolate companies like Hershey's and Nestlé source their cocoa, but 
they're not doing much to stop it. Sign the petition!
