We are a group of LGBTQ+ activists from Belarus. The wave of repression in Belarus, KGB pressure, criminal cases, detentions and “extremist” articles have affected us too. Many of us have lost our homes, jobs, access to education and medical care. We are in different countries, in different difficult situations today. Despite this, we’ve united by a common experience of vulnerability and the fight for safety, as well as the desire to continue our work. We need your help.
Until August 2020, we, like all Belarusians, were engaged in our own projects, but we couldn't stay away when the country was gripped by a wave of violence and lawlessness. Now we help those who suffered at the hands of the regime.
BYSOL supports released political prisoners and their families, people forced to leave the country, Belarusian volunteers in Ukraine, and initiatives that help Belarusians fight lawlessness in the country.
