AB Our study explores the intricate relationship between corruption and female whistle-blowers. It delves into the challenges faced by women who expose corruption, the impact of their actions, and the broader implications for transparency, accountability and gender equity. In the present article, we explore the role of intersectionality in whistle-blowing, acknowledging that individuals often experience multiple forms of discrimination and oppression simultaneously. Drawing on the work of Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989), we examine how intersecting identity factors, such as race, gender and class, can influence the experiences of whistle-blowers and the outcomes of their acts of whistle-blowing. In addition, we discuss the implications of intersectionality for whistle-blower policies and support structures. Drawing on four case studies involving prominent female whistle-blowers, this article underscores the significance of recognizing and addressing the gender-specific aspects of whistle-blowing, which can also be applied to the context of corruption.
