# Transparency International: 2014 in pictures URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/news/transparency-international-2014-in-pictures Type: News Published: 2014-12-23 Updated: 2019-11-19 --- 23 December 2014 The year 2014 brought excitement and change to Transparency International. Here is a look, through pictures, of what we have done this year to reinforce our vision of a world where the corrupt have no place to hide. ### Unmasking the corrupt Through our [Unmask the Corrupt campaign](http://www.transparency.org/news/feature/tell_the_g20_to_take_action_against_secret_company_ownership._unmaskthecorr), we sent out a strong message to corrupt politicians and businesspeople, who continue to enjoy luxury lifestyles funded by stolen money. Our advocacy paid off when G20 leaders took serious steps calling on countries to introduce public registries of company ownership so it will be harder for the corrupt to hide ill-gotten gains.

Elena Panfilova, the chair of Transparency International Russia, was elected as the vice-chair of the movement’s international board of directors.

Yanukovych’s mansion near Kiev, which was opened to the public after his regime fell, became a symbol of kleptocracy.

Her perseverance and ability to tirelessly and publicly pursue the corrupt have made her a hero for many.

Our Corruption Perceptions Index measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption worldwide, and it painted an alarming picture.

This included a call on our [Arabic Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/pages/%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B8%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9/202159219810121#!) that reached more than 1.2 million people across the world in one day and engaged more than 36,000 citizens with the issue of access to information laws.
