Eichgraben celebrates human rights with fair chocolate actions!
Eichgraben, Österreich - In Eichgraben, the day of human rights on December 10th is celebrated with a particularly sweet initiative: the distribution of Fairtrade chocolate. This campaign emphasizes the increasing importance of Fairtrade, especially in the run -up to Christmas when gifts and delicacies come to the fore. The municipality of Eichgraben, which has been recognized as a Fairtrade community since 2005, has again received a delivery of delicious chocolate in a unique Elsbeer taste this year. The chocolate is produced by the regional confectioner Martin Mayer, which attaches great importance to fair production conditions. This initiative should not only delight the palate, but also draw attention to the often difficult living conditions of the cocoa farms in the global south, such as MeinDzirk.at reported.
awareness of fair working conditions
In addition to the chocolate distribution, there are also actions in Eichgraben in order to raise awareness of the working conditions of the cocoa farmers. Volunteers from the Fairtrade working group and members of the municipality are actively involved in spreading information about the challenges with which many cocoa farmers are confronted with, including price uncertainties and low incomes. Cecilia Thurner, a committed representative of this movement, emphasizes that despite the increasing demand, many farmers often only earn just enough to survive. She demands that politics integrate an existential income into the upcoming European supply chain law, such as nolen.at notes. This makes it clear how important such actions are for the political and economic support of the affected communities.| Details | |
