They highlighted that for the progress of integrity and eliminating corruption from the country and fostering an environment where citizens can report misconduct without fear of retaliation, effective whistleblower protection laws are essential.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">They defined that whistleblowing is an act of identifying red flags and irregularities and WB laws protect those individuals who expose illegal, unethical, or improper behavior within an organization without the fear of retaliation. WB protection promotes the disclosure of wrongdoing by providing safeguards and, in some cases, incentives to whistleblowers. They highlighted that in Pakistan, at federal level and in three provinces (Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan), whistleblower protection laws are missing. The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has passed Whistleblower Protection and Vigilance Commission Act 2016, however, the Whistleblower Protection and Vigilance Commission as mandated under Section 3 of the Act, has not been established yet.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Moving on, Mr. Muhammad Bux, Advocate and Executive Director of Sukkar Welfare Organization District Umerkot, Sindh Province and <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Mr. Jam Asif Iqbal Advocate High Court<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> District Multan, Punjab Province, spoke on the Challenges faced by whistleblowers\/Complainants and highlighted supportive resources available to them. They explained that whistleblowers who uncover misconduct, fraud, or illegal activities within organizations or governments often encounter substantial challenges and risks. These include retaliation such as job loss, demotion, harassment, or isolation from colleagues, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and even depression due to the pressure of confronting powerful entities and potential public exposure. Additionally, many organizations lack internal mechanisms to protect whistleblowers or may actively discourage reporting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">They also <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">highlighted the important role of Advocacy and Legal Advice Centers (ALACs) run by Transparency International Pakistan in providing necessary support to the victims and witnesses of corruption.

He highlighted that CSOs have the power to amplify voices, advocate for systemic reforms and promote transparency and ethical practices. CSOs can also push for stronger whistleblower protection laws and accountability measures in both public and private sectors, ensuring environments where whistleblowers can report wrongdoing safely and without fear of retaliation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Towards the end, Mr. Rana Irfan ul Islam, editor of Daily Pakistan, emphasized on the role of media in pushing the government to legislate on WB laws in the country. He highlighted that the media has the power to pick up cases, conduct detailed investigations and bring to the fore the facts before the authorities for appropriate action.
