'Female cocoa farmers paid as little as 23p a day' bbc.com/news/business-…

We’re off to this event tonight. It’s not often you get the chance to hear first-hand from a female cocoa-farmer. And a brilliant panel as well from Co-op and Fairtrade Foundation. Looking forward to the discussion! 📣 #Manchester #shedeserves #cocoa #farming #ff20

Rosine: “The Women’s School of Leadership has taught me about the rights of women, to trust myself and that I have value. Today I know that there can be equality between men and women.” #FairtradeFortnight #SheDeserves #Fairtrade with FairtradeMcr

All set up and ready to start! #fairtradecity #shedeserves

Thank you to everyone who attended our event this evening! Such inspirational stories. And as Rosine said, ‘buy, buy, buy Fairtrade!’ 💙💚 #Manchester #Mcr #ff20 #shedeserves #storyofchocolate

Shelley Brown of The Good Life waste-free mini market: “In this industry it’s women leading the way. My customers are mostly women. A lot of my suppliers are women. I would love to see more men getting involved.” Men who care- we know you’re there! Get involved! 💪 #SheDeserves

“Women are becoming more entrepreneurial and ultimately the household is benefiting from more money, so both the men and the women are happier." 🙌 #SheDeserves #FairtradeFortnight buff.ly/2PF5Iba via The Independent
