shaazka's picture

I am conducting an in-depth research project to document and study cases of citizen participation and nonviolent civic action to fight corruption, in order to distill general lessons learned and best practices. The focus is on what people--organized together, exerting their collective power--are doing to fight corruption as they themselves have discerned it. The project will examine the skills, strategies, objectives, and demands of nonviolent civic campaigns and movements, rather than the phenomenon of corruption itself, or the conditions under which it occurs.

You may be experiencing many reactions for the first time. For those who have had previous traumatic experiences, you may find that you are re-experiencing thoughts, emotions, symptoms, and fears associated with previous experiences. You are not alone.
