Whisper Networks

Whisper Networks refer to informal and often secretive channels of communication among individuals, typically within a specific community or organization, where sensitive information is shared discreetly. These networks often arise in contexts where open discussion about issues such as misconduct, harassment, or other sensitive topics is discouraged or dangerous due to power dynamics, institutional barriers, or fear of repercussions. Members of a whisper network may share warnings, advice, or support regarding problematic individuals or situations, functioning as a form of social safety net. The aim is often to protect others from potential harm by disseminating information that might not be publicly available or easily communicated due to the risks involved.
