In #Belarus, women* have not only donated their time and energy, but – unfortunately - their freedom and the opportunity to be with their families, in the name of the idea of a free and democratic Belarus. But what exactly happened?

In 2020, Dictator #Lukashenko declared himself the winner of a manipulated presidential election. Since then, anti-government protests were cleared with batons, rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades and pepper spray.

People who took part in protests are reported to have been tortured or abused in jail. 191 innocent women* are currently in detention in inhumane conditions. 301 women* are under partial house arrest.

And even those who have already served their sentences are forced to flee the regime's repression against them and their relatives.
There is no democracy without #WomensRights and #HumanRights! #StandwithBelarus
