The Harkin-Engel Protocol responded to numerous reports of child and slave labor conditions in the cocoa industry in West Africa, particularly in the Ivory Coast. West Africa is one of the biggest cocoa producing regions in the world, with 43% of the world’s coca beans coming from the Ivory Coast alone. There are more than 600,000 small farms producing cocoa beans in the Ivory Coast, many in the remote parts of the country. Local human rights activists in the Ivory Coast estimate that as many as 90% of cocoa farms use forced child labor.

Unaccompanied children urgently need to be identified and put in foster care as their families are traced, Carolyn Miles of the charity Save The Children tells the CBS News Early Show. "Just the other day, we were in a village where we found 700 children that were unaccompanied in Indonesia," she says.
Child welfare groups such as UNICEF are concerned that child trafficking gangs — who are well-established in Indonesia — are whisking orphaned children into trafficking networks, selling them into forced labor or even sexual slavery in wealthier neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore.
"I'm sure it's happening," said Birgithe Lund-Henrikse
