🆕 UNODC report: In 2023 over 70% of Nigerians refused to pay a bribe, a promising sign in the fight against corruption. However, corruption is still one of the key issues affecting Nigerians. To progress towards a corruption-free society, we must stand #UnitedAgainstCorruption

I’m shocked by the stories of trafficking survivors forced into criminal activities & sexual exploitation by organized crime groups across Southeast Asia. No person deserves to be treated this way. We must step up responses to end this horrific abuse.
