TI Colombia Reflects on Whistleblowing in New Blog

Date Published: 26 June 2025

On World Whistleblowing Day, Transparencia por Colombia published a new blog, "Proteger, una responsabilidad polĂ­tica y social" (Protecting, a political and social responsibility). The blog was written by Claire Launay Gama, Program Director – Initiatives with Civil Society at the organisation. 

The blog discusses the social consequences of blowing the whistle and how protection is needed;  unfortunately, Colombia still lacks a law that protects whistleblowers. The most recent bill, introduced in 2023, was approved by the House of Representatives but failed to advance in the Senate due to a lack of quorum.  And that’s not all: since 2017, five legislative initiatives on whistleblower protection have been proposed, but none have succeeded.
