The implementation of gender equality in the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine is part of the national policy aimed at ensuring equal rights and opportunities for men and women in all spheres of public life. Ukraine has adopted a number of laws and regulations that provide a legal framework for the implementation of gender equality, including the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men” and a number of international agreements ratified by Ukraine. Based on these documents, ESBU ensures equal opportunities for its employees regardless of gender.

To achieve gender equality, mechanisms have been established to monitor compliance with the principles of gender equality at all stages of ESBU operations: from recruitment to strategic decision-making. This includes the introduction of quotas for women in management positions, monitoring of the gender composition of employees, and the implementation of anti-discrimination mechanisms. Awareness-raising campaigns are conducted among ESBU employees to reduce the impact of stereotypes and raise awareness of the importance of gender equality.

According to the order of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine No. 132 dated 26.07.2024, Maksym Kuterha, Deputy Director for Digital Development, Digital Transformation and Digitalization of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, was appointed as the authorized person (coordinator) for ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men, preventing and combating gender-based violence in the ESBU.
