Message from WEF Latin America
This post was written by Delia Ferreira Rubio, a member of TI’s board of directors. On April 27th I was in Rio de Janeiro for the World Economic Forum’s regional meeting, where I attended three very different sessions that were all relevant to our movement.

Gender, corruption and basic services – unequal impacts all around
Just as with public services or pay levels, inequality between men and women characterises corruption.

Corruption can compromise their access to […]
