Gender Equality Plan

1. Introduction and Purpose

The HoloMind Foundation is committed to promoting gender equality, diversity, and inclusiveness in all aspects of its activities – research, education, therapy, and organizational operations. This GEP is a tool for planning, implementing, and monitoring actions that ensure equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of gender, age, origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or health status.

2. Link to the Foundation’s Mission
