"A pesar de que la esclavitud no es legal, hay millones de personas que viven en esclavitud. Uno de los lugares e industrias que propician la mano de obra esclava está ligada a la producción del cacao".
El líder mundial de producción de cacao es Costa de Marfil y el sucio secreto de la esclavitud es un lugar común en las plantaciones de cacao en este país del oeste de Africa. Los niños son pasados de contrabando desde países como Mali, Nígel y Burkina Faso y llevados a lugares remotos a plantaciones aisladas del resto del mundo. Mientras que las estadísticas son solo aproximadas, este video afirma que el 35% del chocolate del mundo está producido por mano de obra esclava (y hemos visto estimaciones aún mayores). ¿Qué es lo que nos lleva a esta horrible situación? ¿Es una cuestión geográfica?

Thanks, Seth. I ordered this DVD last year but can't find it just now, so I'm glad you posted it. A colleague used it as part of a human rights unit in her AVID class which culminated in a socratic seminar. The discussion was thoughtful and informed.

A United Nations report cites widespread shortages of food, water, electricity, jobs, hospital beds and classrooms amid an exploding population in an area of Gaza.
While most slums are symptomatic of issues that would be addressed by an economic and urban geography analysis, the slums of Gaza are different. Many slum issues are tied to city politics, but in Gaza these slums are also connected to some of the larger geopolitical issues of the region.

People in the Gaza strip are already fearful Israel around them because of the fighting between the two areas. When people think of Gaza, they think of the Palestine-Israel conflict, but there is much more going on in Gaza. Israel blocks Gaza off from all forms of trade, and although they have a tunnel between them and Egypt, it is not enough. Therefore, there are slums where children do not go to school because their parents cannot afford it, people starve because they have no money to buy food, and people live in small shelters that they built out of some materials they put together and sleep on the ground. This is a squatter community, and, as the article states, there are squatter communities in worse shape, the problem here is that everyone is pointing fingers and no one is trying to fix the problem. Many state that Israel has caused this poverty because of their oppressive control of the area and others state that it is Gaza's government because they are corrupt and new and cannot or do not distribute their food well. This is a problem, but when no one takes the blame, innocent people suffer. Delete the scoop?
