  „Fair Trade and other Direct Trade initiatives: According to the Fair Trade Labeling Organization (FLO) in Bonn, Germany, the criteria required for fair trade certification were created taking into account relevant ILO conventions concerning child labor (29, 105 and 138). Under the criteria for coffee, there can be no forced labor, and, because fair trade works with family farms, the children are not working under harmful conditions. Furthermore, the minimum price criteria provide families with a dignified standard of living, eliminating the need for children to work for wages.“
