At VanHack, we believe in fostering an inclusive and diverse community where individuals feel welcome, celebrated, and empowered. Today, we proudly raise the Pride Flag across our social channels to show our support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
In this blog post, we want to emphasize our deep commitment to creating an environment where everyone feels they truly belong and acknowledge the significance of this symbol and what it represents: love, acceptance, equality, and the celebration of diverse identities.
Raising the Flag, Celebrating Progress and Diversity
The Flag we are proudly raising this month across our channels is the #ProgressPrideFlag. This inclusive design acknowledges the invaluable contributions of Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of color to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, as represented by the black and brown stripes. Additionally, the Flag includes transgender and intersex individuals, symbolized by the white, pink, and blue stripes, along with purple and yellow.
This symbol serves as a representation of our commitment to building an inclusive and supportive community at VanHack. Let us embrace its colors and meanings to advocate diversity, support one another, promote equality, and work together to create a place where all individuals can thrive.
Embracing Diversity
Diversity enriches our community by bringing forth a range of perspectives, ideas, and experiences. At VanHack, we welcome individuals of different sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions, recognizing that our differences are what make us stronger as a collective.
By celebrating diversity, we foster an environment where each person can bring their authentic self to the table, encouraging creativity, innovation, and the cultivation of unique talents.
Building a Foundation of Respect
At VanHack, equality lies at the core of our values. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. The reason why we create an environment where individuals can reach their full potential while promoting equal opportunities and firmly standing against any form of discrimination, working hard to eliminate barriers and promote inclusivity at every level.

Fostering Inclusive Culture
Creating a sense of belonging is vital for our community’s growth, and we encourage all members of VanHack (employees, candidates, hiring partners) to reflect on how we can collectively foster an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard.
When we come together, we can learn, grow, and bridge the gaps that, unfortunately, still exist in the world. So here is our invitation to all of you to embrace open dialogue and empathy as we build a path toward unity and create a workplace (and a world) that is truly inclusive and supportive for all.
This Flag is not just a symbol but a commitment to continue building a community that ensures that every individual feels they are unique as they are.
