Anti Harassment Policy
This guideline aims to ensure that TechGALA is a comfortable place for all participants. To ensure everyone’s safety, it is essential that all attendees understand the different forms of harassment. People are sometimes unaware of their own behavior; that is why, regardless of how long someone has been part of the community, we all need to be mindful of one another. By keeping this guideline in mind, let’s work together to make TechGALA a welcoming and enjoyable space for everyone.
