BySol has also announced “structural changes” and “the reformatting” of its board. In addition, the nonprofit said it was forming a working group to “propose amendments to the charter and develop a new algorithm for electing the governing body.”
“We are doing everything possible to ensure that these changes do not affect assistance to repression victims and that BySol remains a strong and effective organization,” the foundation stressed.
Stryžak took to Telegram to confirm his decision to leave BySol. According to him, the decision was not easy. “I will do my best to ensure that the team can survive the crisis without losses.

BySol suspended Stryžak on July 23 after about a dozen of victims complained of sexual harassment.
