Gender and intersectionality mainstreaming in whistleblowing systems (GIM-Tool)

Whistleblowing is a vital tool for ensuring transparency and accountability, particularly in the fight against corruption and unethical behavior.

These groups often encounter obstacles like fear of retaliation, discrimination, and lack of safe reporting channels.
