Words Matter

Whistleblowers have a poor reputation because of insufficient definition. As a result, the term Whistleblower has become synonymous with negativity. However, the reality is that their purpose is to protect the rights of workers and employers. 

The dilemma of Whistleblowers can be boiled down into three major points:

• Abuse of authorities 

• Misinformation  

• Lack of support 

The problem is retaliation: gaslighting, mobbing, marginalizing, devaluing, shunning, blackballing, double-binding, accusing, & violence against whistleblowers.
