    PSI/FES Symposium on the Protection of Whistleblowers

    • 09:00-12:00 ILO Room IX

    Fraud and wrongdoing are more likely to occur in organizations that are closed and secretive. Whistleblowers play a pivotal role in supporting transparency and accountability in both the public and private sectors – whistleblowers bring to light illegal activities such as tax evasion, collusion and others that are contrary to the public interest. Whistleblowing can save lives, the environment and money. However, in disclosing relevant information whistleblowers often risk their jobs, freedom, or even their lives. Interpretation in English, French and Spanish will be available.
