Have a Heart, N♥stlé
 Roses are red
Violets are blue
Have a heart, Nestlé
It’s long overdue
Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a hopeless chocoholic, no-one wants their Valentine’s Day tainted by trafficked child labour.
Send a Valentine’s card to Nestlé telling them to ‘have a heart’ and use traffik-free cocoa across their entire product range.
Your Valentine's Chocolates Unwrapped
On the cocoa plantations of West Africa, thousands of children are being subjected to heartbreaking abuses. Thanks to STOP THE TRAFFIK’s campaign and worldwide consumer power, the seeds of change have been planted. But the global chocolate industry continues to profit from the forced labour of trafficked children. Click here to find out more. One Bar Is Not Enough
Last year, Nestlé gave us one Fair Trade chocolate bar; the 4-Finger KitKat. But 98.9% of Nestlé’s chocolate products may still use cocoa beans picked by trafficked children. We won’t stop until all the chocolate in our shops is traffik-free. ♥♥♥ Have a Heart N♥stlé
That’s why we’re asking Nestlé to ‘have a heart’. Over this season of love, we’re calling upon people across the globe to whisper those three little words that mean so much into the ears of chocolate companies: “STOP THE TRAFFIK”

Guest article: News from Stop the Traffik Let's celebrate the amazing news that by the end of summer 2009, Cadbury's Dairy Milk bars can be part of our diet again! We congratulate Cadbury on their commitment to justice and now look to their policy being adopted across their entire product range.
Cadbury's decision demonstrates the power of ordinary consumers in bringing change and freedom. Two years ago, STOP THE TRAFFIK met with Cadbury and was told that a fairtrade Cadbury's bar was impossible and impracticable.
This is a victory for every person who has complained, campaigned and spread the message. But most of all, it is a victory for every child held in exploitative labour on West African cocoa farms. It is important to remember though that all exploited children will not be free until Mars, Nestle, Lindt, Hershey and all the others have put human rights before profit and make similar announcements. Click here to find out more about the trafficking of children to work on cocoa farms.
STOP THE TRAFFIK has been calling for individual companies to take responsibility for the chocolate they sell and asking for it to be traffik free. This is a very significant step in our campaign.
If you've been part of this, e-mail it to your local press and tell them of the campaigning you did.
Together we will STOP THE TRAFFIK
