The campaign, an initiative of Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand and ACRATH (Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans) asks people to buy FAIRTRADE chocolate for Easter to help stop the trafficking of children into West African cocoa plantations.  This will send a message to chocolate producers who do not use FAIRTRADE chocolate.

Fair Trade chocolate is available at The Trading Circles in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, at Oxfam stores and at many supermarkets and small stores.

If you are in an area where no Fair Trade chocolate is available, then your Easter Action can be to ask for it at your local supermarket. And ask your friends and community to request Fair Trade chocolate.
