Corruption often goes unchallenged when people do not speak out about it. Witness accounts offer invaluable insights into corruption, and are powerful tools in the fight against it. Whistleblowers play a crucial role in saving resources and even lives. Unfortunately, whistleblowers mostly face retaliation in the form of harassment, threats and even physical violence. Many steps have been taken by some countries to support these people. To help to ensure that whistleblowers are adequately protected from reprisals, and to provide them with easy-to-access avenues to make their disclosures, Transparency International is engaged in a wide range of advocacy, public awareness and research activities in all regions of the world. In this way, the purpose of this paper is to examine the efforts and initiatives of Transparency International for the formation of the rules relating to the protection of whistleblowers.
