Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers are individuals, typically within an organization, who expose or report illicit, unethical, or improper activities occurring within that organization. These activities may include violations of laws, regulations, or company policies, and can involve issues such as fraud, corruption, safety violations, or instances of misconduct. Whistleblowers often report their findings to authorities, regulatory agencies, or the public to bring attention to wrongdoing, sometimes at personal risk to their careers and reputations. Legal protections in various jurisdictions aim to shield whistleblowers from retaliation or discrimination in response to their disclosures.
