Make NDAs void if used to cover up trafficking or high-level corruption

Background

Introduce legislation making confidentiality clauses unenforceable if used to hide crimes, including trafficking and exploitation. We also want a statutory Whistleblower Reward & Protection Fund to provide financial and legal security for those exposing high-level institutional wrongdoing.

Additional details

NDAs are being weaponized as ‘hush money’ to shield institutional enablers from criminal liability. Current laws allow powerful organizations to buy silence, preventing patterns of abuse from reaching the police or public. This creates a culture of impunity. We need a ‘Truth over NDAs’ policy that ensures no contract can obstruct justice. Furthermore, whistleblowers often face career ruin; a dedicated fund is essential to protect those who act in the public interest.
