"Chocolate's Child Slaves" (should read "Male Child Slaves")

Story here. While it it laudable that child slavery related to the production of chocolate is coming to the world's attention more openly, it is notable that the story is billed as "child slaves." The fact is -- if one looks at the videos -- that all the children are male. Yet, nowhere does the story say anything about male child slavery. The gender card seems too hot a button these days... perhaps, if it were to be mentioned openly, feminists would derail the good work that's being done? The fact is that many adult males are financial slaves too, but nobody is talking about that, are they? Another taboo topic? Excerpt:

'Everyone loves chocolate. But for thousands of people, chocolate is the reason for their enslavement.

The chocolate bar you snack on likely starts at a plant in a West African cocoa plantation, and often the people who harvest it are children. Many are slaves to a system that produces something almost all of us consume and enjoy.

The CNN Freedom Project sent correspondent David McKenzie into the heart of the Ivory Coast - the world’s largest cocoa producer - to investigate what's happening to children working in the fields.

His work has resulted in a shocking, eye-opening documentary showing that despite all the promises the global chocolate industry made a decade ago, much of the trade remains unchanged. There are still child slaves harvesting cocoa, even though some have never even tasted chocolate and some don't even know what the word "chocolate" means.'
