Friends,
We have had an incredible few months and are excited to share updates from both of our partner countries. We are encouraged by the progress of both Belize and Uganda and the efforts they are demonstrating to reduce trafficking within their borders. We hope that when you read the stories below, you too will be encouraged and know that your gifts are bringing traffickers to justice and restoring hope to victims. We are grateful for your partnership and support in this important work to decimate trafficking.
Gratefully,

The Institute welcomes Tyler Dunman as the Special Counsel to Uganda. In his new role, he will work in Uganda’s Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) providing expertise and supporting prosecutors who are working on trafficking cases.
