What is corruption? To us it's simple: corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Whether it's paying a bribe to access public services like health care and education or whether it's money laundering schemes involving billions and dirty money, what's important is HOW corruption affects YOU, and the cost of corruption can be enormous.
Corruption can cost you your livelihood, your rights, your health, your freedom and sometimes even your life. It erodes democratic freedoms, rule of law and trust in government. Corruption also reduces your chances for a healthy environment and sustainable future.
When money meant to tackle the climate crisis is stolen, that's your future being taken from you. When money meant to improve your local schools hospitals and roads is snatched away, opportunities for a better life are lost with it. When money meant to improve your government and the rule of law is stolen so too is your chance for a more just and secure future.
Every year we lose billions to corruption, billions that were supposed to improve all of our lives, our opportunities and our communities At times the scale of the problem can seem overwhelming but corruption is not inevitable. Together we have the power to stop corruption. Join us!
