One of the strategic goals of the VARES association is to create a universal tool that will allow displaying the maximum number of black retailers ❌ and white retailers ✅ in one place, so that everyone can easily navigate the situation on the market in Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Such a tool will be the Black Store Map 🗺️ — an open database and map where:
• anyone can submit the fact of sale of counterfeit products 📝;
• the information will be verified 🔍;
• after confirmation, the point will appear on the map 🗺️, and the retailer will receive a message 📩;
• access to the database will be available to all interested parties 👥, especially law enforcement agencies 👮.

Separately, we form a database of online sellers 📱 (Telegram channels, Instagram pages) who trade without a license or sell counterfeits 🚫.

Black Store Map is a step towards a transparent ✨ and safe 🛡️ market where legal businesses have the upper hand.
