THE CHOCOLATE FONDUE
PARTY TO PROTEST

STOP THE TRAFFIK are calling people from all countries around the world to
unite to celebrate a mutual love for chocolate while at the same time joining
together, sharing the message with friends, family and neighbours, calling for the
end of child trafficking labour in the manufacture of our chocolate.

WHY FONDUE? WHY CERTIFIED?

Nearly half of the world’s chocolate comes from the Ivory Coast • Because certification is the best way for companies to tell
in West Africa. us that their chocolate has been made without trafficked
labour.
It is estimated that there are over 200,000
children working under the worst forms • Because certification is leading change in the Chocolate

trafficked. • Because it shows the Chocolate Industry that we want
chocolate but we want it to be traffik free! Your choice –

with little or no pay, and can be subject to regular beatings and
abuse. The top three certification marks are currently Fairtrade,
Rainforrest Alliance and UTZ.
STOP THE TRAFFIK is staging a global campaign against
human trafficking in the cocoa-sector, calling on the public
to let their voice be heard. Join the call and demand that all
manufacturers supply Traffik-Free cocoa.

WE CAN BRING CHANGE

As consumers, we have power to choose to eat certified chocolate, calling on the Chocolate Industry to take action
and eliminate the use of trafficked children in the manufacture of our chocolate.

At the CHOCOLATE FONDUE PARTY TO PROTEST you can share with your friends, family
and neighbours that their choice matters too.

awarded the prize for ‘weirdest dipper’ The rules: Players aren’t allowed to open their bag until ‘Go’
has been shouted by the adjudicator.
How to play: Everyone brings something unusual to dip into
the fondue and feed to the other players. Players put on their
blindfold and then take it in turns to remove their blindfold,
dip their weirdest dipper in the fondue and feed a bit to each
of the other players. After each dipper has been tasted players
can remove their blindfold to write down what they think the
dipper was. Once each player has had their turn everyone votes
for the weirdest dipper. Players win 1 point for a correct guess
and 5 points for being awarded the ‘weridest dipper’.

The rules: Players must keep their dipper secret. The dippers
must all be safe to eat and within what is normally considered
edible. No players can vote for themselves. The winner is the
player with the most points.
