Whistleblower Protection refers to legal safeguards and rights afforded to individuals who report misconduct, fraud, illegal activities, or wrongdoing within an organization, typically to authorities or the public. These protections are designed to shield whistleblowers from retaliation, such as termination, demotion, or harassment, for speaking out about the wrongdoing they have observed. By providing anonymity, legal recourse, and safeguards against reprisals, whistleblower protection laws encourage individuals to disclose information that is in the public interest without fear of adverse consequences, thereby promoting transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior within both public and private sectors.
