When: July 11, 2022.11:00am - 12:15pm (CET)
Where: Online
In both public and private spheres, the act of whistleblowing often carries a great and heavy risk. Even in Western societies, a fear of punishment and retaliation looms large for individuals and groups who seek to reveal illegal or immoral behavior. How can reformers hold corrupt governments and companies to account if those who would tell the truth are discouraged or intimidated? At a time when bad actors seek to undermine democracy, can whistleblowing survive as an international phenomenon?
