Whistleblower

A whistleblower is a person who reports, discloses or discloses information about illegal, unethical or harmful activities within the organization or institution in which he works or has worked. Whistleblowers usually disclose such information to the public, relevant authorities or some kind of authority in order to detect and prevent corruption.

The main characteristic of whistleblowers is that they report information that is in the public interest or that reveals some kind of corruption, fraud, abuse of authority or other irregularities. This information is often confidential or unknown to the general public, and whistleblowers often have access to this information because of their position or role in the organization.

Whistleblowers often face the risk of retaliation or retaliation from the organization or individuals exposed when their illegal or unethical activities are exposed. This is why some legal systems have legal provisions that protect whistleblowers and provide them with some legal protection. These legal protections are intended to encourage disclosure of wrongdoing and encourage individuals to tell the truth, thereby contributing to transparency, accountability and the fight against corruption.

Whistleblowers play an important role in detecting and preventing irregularities in society, and can contribute to improving the integrity of organizations, institutions and public services.
