    Wow, that’s an incredibly bad look for Barcelona.

    30,000 child soldiers still active.

    Normalized and accepted violence against women. Known as the “rape capital of the world.”

    Illegal to be LGBT.

    Institutionalized corruption. Ranks 163 out of 180 in Corruption Index and 156 out of 167 in Democracy Index.

      I’m not sure, but are you confusing ROC with DROC? I know The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the absolute worst when it comes to corruption.

      As someone who’s worked a bit in ROC I seriously doubt they’ve got an issue with child soldiers. I don’t think they’re the rape capitol of the world either. You will meet corrupt government officials at the airports and so, but not even remotely as bad as their neighbour

        This is about DROC, not ROC.

        From the source: “The partnership will reportedly cost the Democratic Republic of Congo 44m euros ($50m; £38m), although the club has not disclosed the figure it will receive.”
