With Hungary’s new whistleblower protection law coming into effect on January 1, 2014, attention has turned to monitoring the law and ensuring whistleblowers benefit from the rights they have been promised. K-Monitor (a Coalition member) is aiming to lead the research into the implementation of the Act on Complaints and Public Interest Disclosures, while advocating for still-needed reforms of current regulations.

Additionally, K-Monitor has teamed with Átlátszó.hu and Transparency International Hungary to establish an alliance to provide legal, financial and psychological help for whistleblowers in Hungary. BEVÉD sheds light on the misuse of power by helping whistleblowers publish and pass on their evidence and documentation to the proper authorities and outlets.

BEVÉD also works to obtain legal help for whistleblowers if they suffer retaliation, and raise funds to provide financial help for whistleblowers so they can stay afloat during their legal cases.
