Welcome to the first episode of Series 2…where I talk to Tyler Dunman.
Tyler is the Vice President of Programs for the Human Trafficking Institute, better known as HTI.
Back in 2015, Tyler was a Prosecutor in Texas within the Special Crimes Division, taking the lead on dealing with cases of child trafficking and Internet Crimes Against Children, or ICAC.
A chance meeting in the US connected Tyler to the Human Trafficking Institute, who were working alongside the Government in Uganda to develop their capacity to investigate and prosecute human traffickers. Taking a Special Council Position, and a huge leap of faith, Tyler and his wife sold their home and moved their young family halfway across the world to Kampala.
After hours of travelling and arriving in their new house, they put the kids to bed…and break down in tears. The reality of what they have done hits them. …and despite Tyler’s vast experience of working on cases in the US, he now finds himself dealing with trafficking for forced marriage, organ harvesting, and child sacrifice.
Good decision or bad? Let’s find out...
