Public awareness is a critical component in the fight against corruption. Educating citizens about their rights and the negative impacts of corruption empowers them to demand accountability from their leaders and institutions. Increased awareness can lead to greater public scrutiny of government actions and business practices, making it more difficult for corrupt activities to go unnoticed. Media coverage and investigative journalism also play essential roles in exposing corruption and informing the public. When citizens are informed and engaged, they are more likely to participate in anti-corruption initiatives and support reforms aimed at promoting transparency and good governance.
