Human Trafficking Institute

The Human Trafficking Institute is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that fights modern slavery by going after the people who profit from it. Founded in 2015 by two former U.S. Department of Justice trafficking prosecutors, HTI embeds veteran experts inside criminal justice systems - training police and prosecutors, building specialized anti-trafficking units, and supplying the investigative tools and data needed to convict traffickers. It runs field programs in Uganda and Belize and publishes the annual Federal Human Trafficking Report, the only dataset compiling every U.S. federal trafficking case since the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.
