That Hershey's bar might look like a sweet treat, but it has a bitter origin, in West Africa, where child labor is used in its production.
Last Wednesday, June 8, hundreds of students and concerned consumers gathered in front of the Hershey Store in Times Square, New York City, to call on Hershey to "raise the bar" by eliminating exploitative child labor from its cocoa production chain.
