SUMMARY - Whistleblower Protections
Whistleblowersâindividuals who report wrongdoing within organizationsâplay essential roles in exposing fraud, corruption, safety violations, and other harms that might otherwise remain hidden. From corporate misconduct to government waste, whistleblowers have revealed abuses affecting public health, safety, and the public purse. Yet blowing the whistle often comes at tremendous personal cost: job loss, career destruction, social isolation, legal battles, and psychological harm.
