I'm writing you to share the exciting news that HTI has hired a new embedded expert! Gabrielle Massey will be acting as our Special Counsel in Uganda. “We are thrilled to welcome Gabrielle to the team in such a pivotal role,” said Victor Boutros, CEO. “Drawing on her extensive experience as a human trafficking prosecutor, she will work directly with police and prosecutors to build strong cases against traffickers. I know Gabrielle will be a powerful force in decimating trafficking in Uganda.”
Embedded experts are a key part of our approach to stopping traffickers. Gabrielle’s presence in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions will allow her to make a significant impact on human trafficking cases as they are being prosecuted and promote collaboration between investigators and prosecutors. Since our first embedded expert joined the team in Uganda, we have seen incredible results with over 1,600 victims protected and 1,200 traffickers arrested. With an additional prosecution expert, we expect an even greater impact to come. We are so excited to welcome her to the team and see all the incredible work she will do alongside our team in Uganda.
