Whistleblowing

Whistleblowing is the act of reporting unethical or illegal activities within an organization. This can involve exposing wrongdoing, such as corruption, fraud, or safety violations, often to authorities, regulatory bodies, or the public. Whistleblowers may face risks, including retaliation from their employer, but protections are often in place to safeguard them. Their actions can lead to accountability and reforms, improving the organization and potentially protecting the public. It is a crucial mechanism for promoting transparency and integrity in various institutions.
