糖衣包裝的巧克力王國
Chocolate may seem to be a fun and tasty treat, but its industry has a lesser-known dark side. Child labor is used in the production of cocoa, and this is a severe issue that needs to be addressed. Most of the child workers are teenage boys. They usually spend their days doing hard manual labor, like chopping down cocoa trees with large knives. At night, they sleep in huts in the woods. Many of them don’t attend school and are unable to see their families.
巧克力也許看似有趣又好吃的美味點心, 但巧克力產業有著一個較不為人知的黑暗面。兒童勞工被用於可可粉的生產過程中, 而這是一個需要解決的嚴重議題。大多數的童工都是青少年男孩。他們白天通常得做粗重的體力活，像是用大型刀具砍伐可可樹。到了夜晚，他們就睡在樹林裡的簡陋小屋裡。他們許多人都沒有上學，而且無法見到家人。
