About
DeTy (Ukrainian: Де Ти, tr. De Ty, pronounced [deh-tee]) is a missing person platform for Ukraine built by a team of Secjuice and IT army volunteers from around the world, operating as a non-profit organization. DeTy derives from the Ukrainian words Де Ти, which translates to "Where are you?" in English. The missing person platform is intended to help displaced friends, family, and loved ones find one another who were affected by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine ordered by Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022.[1] More than a million Ukrainian refugees were forced to flee their homeland and seek asylum within a week as a result. [2] Refugees have fled to neighboring countries such as Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia, Romania, Russia, Belarus, and other European countries. [3] Meanwhile, male Ukrainian citizens ages 18-60 were banned from leaving Ukraine to defend their country after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law, forcing many of them to say goodbye to their friends and families. [4]
DeTy is an easy-to-use app platform offering two options on the front page of its website labeled as 'find me' and 'find someone', thus allowing anyone to be found. To find someone, the app requires you to fill out the person's first name, last name, and patronymic name details. To be found, you must fill out your name details, including your region, and a personal message you want your friends, family, and loved ones to read. DeTy is a multilingual platform and is currently available in the following languages: Ukrainian, English, French, Polish, and Russian.
