Kinship and gender
Katja believes that corruption is detrimental not to the political system but most importantly to the people who depend on it. An equitable society can only be achieved when the wellbeing of people is the priority. Corruption is the opposite of that. She is passionate about putting her experience to good use in the fight against corruption by collaborating with and equipping agencies with knowledge and connections to implement sustainable corruption prevention activities/strategies that can adapt to the ever-evolving challenges.
