whistleblowers

Whistleblowers are individuals who report unethical or illegal activities within their organization, often involving misconduct like fraud, safety violations, or corruption. They can be employees, contractors, or others with knowledge of the wrongdoing. Whistleblowers typically expose these issues to higher authorities, regulatory bodies, or the public to prompt change and accountability. While their actions can help prevent harm or injustice, whistleblowers often face significant risks, including retaliation or job loss, which is why many countries have laws to protect them. Their role is crucial in promoting transparency and integrity in organizations and society.
