The declaration also includes a roadmap for companies to implement a number of measures to promote gender equality, develop policies that take into account the needs of family life, ensure work-life balance and respond to domestic violence, which is a major problem for many countries, including Ukraine.

We are striving to make an inclusive IT community in Ukraine with equal opportunities for everyone, in which new ideas are accepted, valuable experience is respected, which encourages innovation and success. We want all our professionals to have information on how best to provide people with the support they need in certain life circumstances.
