Klokkenluiders

Klokkenluiders, or whistlebowers, are individuals who expose illegal, unethical, or harmful activities within an organization or institution. They often face risks, such as retaliation or professional repercussions, but choose to reveal misconduct to protect public interest, safety, or integrity. The term emphasizes the act of "blowing the whistle" on wrongdoings, encouraging transparency and accountability. Legal protections in many countries aim to support whistleblowers and ensure their disclosures are handled appropriately, fostering a culture of honesty and ethical conduct.
