CLEVELAND, OH – The Survivor Advisory Board of the Collaborative to End Human Trafficking produces a training series about labor trafficking that has reached international audiences for the first time, with participants from India.

Collaborative to End Human Trafficking invited activist Harold D’Souza to share the problems, solutions, and resources to combat Labour Trafficking on Wednesday, January 11th, 2023.

HaroldD’SouzaandRachelSocorro, labor trafficking survivors from Ohio, conducted training that discussed how labor trafficking still prevails within Ohio and across the USA. They used their lived experience to explore various typologies of labor trafficking, including domestic servitude and debt bondage. The training equips participants with key indicators to look for within local businesses, empower them with solutions and resources, and define challenges within the sector to serve survivors of labor trafficking.

‘Failure to Fame’ is the story of this ordinary man doing extra-ordinary workacross the world.‘Humanity to Hollywood’ is the journey of Harold D’Souza. Today an international inspirational role model shares his lived experiences from fear to freedom.

For the first time, the training had participants from India and Nepal.

AccordingtotheU.S.Departmentof State, as reported over the past five years, human traffickers exploit domestic and foreign victims in India and traffickers exploit victims from India abroad. Internal forced labor constitutes India’s largest trafficking problem; traffickers use debt-based coercion (bonded labor) to compel men, women, and childrentoworkinagriculture,brick kilns, rice mills, embroidery and textile factories, and stone quarries.

Kirsti Mouncey, President & CEO of the Collaborative, which brings together more than 70 organizations to prevent sex and labor trafficking in Cuyahoga County, said labor trafficking is a substantial problem worldwide – evenin Northeast Ohio.

“Forced labor has increased significantly over the last five years, with 28 million people around the world estimated to be in forced labor, according to the United Nations,” Mouncey said. “Harold’s and Rachel’s perspective from their livedexperienceisimportanttohelp raise awareness – and hopefully prevent – labor trafficking. We are thrilled to bring their important messages to India.”

True story! Imagine that you wake up in a place where you don’t know the culture, you don’t know the laws, and you don’t know the resources.Imaginethatyouthought you were going to rise to a better life for yourself and your family but found yourself on the floor with no bed. You are working 16 hours a day.Imagine youhavenofood,and no money because someone you trusted took the small amount of money you had “to keep it safe”, and provided you a one-bedroom apartment, then threatened you with arrest and deportation if you didn’t continue working without pay. You’re working so many hours that you can’t get home to care for your two small children.

This couldn’t happen in the United States of America, could it? Certainly, this couldn’t happen in Cincinnati, could it? True! Cruelty to Celebrity is the incredible story of The D’Souza Family.

Today, the D’Souza family is living their ‘American Dream’. Dancy and Harold D’Souza are the CoFounders of Eyes Open International (EOI) a non-profit organization registered under 501 c 3 in USA focused on prevention of Human Trafficking. EOI is planning to open branches in 50 Countries. Harold says, America is the destination but countries like Mexico, Nepal, Bangladesh, India and various other countries are the source.

Bradly and Rohan D’Souza sons of Dancy and Harold are working for Tesla. Recently Dancy D’Souza was recognized and awarded for Volunteeringandgivingbacktothe community through the Do-Good Program in 2022 inAmerica.
