Women, young people and ethnic minorities suffer most by having their access to land hindered by corruption.

    In Tanzania, several women employees at a court began to fall ill one after the other. What would normally be overlooked as an innocuous seasonal virus proved to be fatal – the women had been infected with HIV.
