@forum_adb A massive loss to civil society. Jessica was a fearless courageous champion of the people. Her legacy will live on as she inspired me and many many others . A sad loss. 🙏🙏

[NGO Forum on ADB | #nofalsesolutions ✊ @forum_adb]

Jessica dedicated her life to creating change and uplifting others. 💜 Though she may be gone, her courage and resilience continue to inspire.

✊✨ Her light may have dimmed, but her legacy shines on.

Together, let us unleash the power of youth to shape a better world for everyone.” We need adults to open their eyes and work with youth.

So important, there has been an online explosion of sexextortion targeting young men&women. More needs to be done to train police/anticorruption agencies with skills to "Eliminate" such abhorrent behaviours and make young people safe. @PTFund #sextortion #youthagainstcorruption

[PTFund @PTFund]

In December 2022, during an @ifrc conference, @PTFund's Board Chair @frankvogl was asked to comment on Professor @Purna_Sen's remarks about sextortion. Subsequently, @frankvogl wrote "Eliminating Sextortion Must Be the Goal - But How?". Read more at https://t.co/t03n0LzUrG.

Many thanks to Ghana Integrity Initiative for the interest in the GRACE initiative!

Young people need to have important roles in anti-corruption efforts.

Can technology enable this meaningful inclusion?

I certainly think so!

We have shrunk the ozone hole.

We have expanded protections for wildlife & ecosystems.

Now, we must urgently come together to end our war on nature and build lives of dignity & prosperity for all. #EarthDay
