Protecting whistleblowers and the vital role they play
Women who speak up against wrongdoing and become whistleblowers are paying a heavy price for their courage, according to a new report from the Human Rights Law Centre. The study finds women are more likely to face harassment and bullying in the workplace because of their whistleblowing disclosures. Whistleblower advocates are urgently calling for the establishment of a Whistleblower Protection Authority, to ensure safety and support for those who are brave enough to come forward.
