Research Case Study 6: Sextortion – an unaddressed form of corruption and sexual abuse
Research findings from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda raise concerns about the extent and impact of sextortion, sometimes called sexual corruption. Efforts to understand its impact and underlying causes will help us to address this widespread yet widely ignored problem.
Sextortion causes severe psychological harm and impacts victims’ health and well-being yet receives insufficient attention in both research and policy-making.
Our research aims to turn attention towards this crucial issue, to unveil and address sextortion and the social norms that enable and perpetuate it.
Working Paper 45: Strategic anti-corruption communications – Guidance for behaviour change interventions
This Working Paper is intended to guide practitioners who are seeking to complement conventional anti-corruption measures by adopting a behavioural communications approach.
It aims to connect a typology of anti-corruption messages with behavioural change theories, and discuss their impact.
Subsequently, it suggests practical implications for designing anti-corruption communication as part of behaviour change interventions. This includes outlining how to develop a robust Theory of Change as a means to enhance the success of such efforts.
The guidance is based on a review of seven key topically pertinent studies that have been recently published.
