«Although I am a medic myself, I can't help myself now after surgery on a broken collarbone: I have no insurance, I have nothing to live on». Arseny Kuzmenchuk is a paramedic-obstetrician from Brest. Before the 2020 elections, the guy worked in a hospital and ran a small blog on TikTok: he made videos about the lives of Belarusian doctors.

My name is Elena Vasilyeva. I am a blogger, a volunteer, a person involved in political cases. «An extremist». In 2021, my car was set on fire in Kyiv — according to the investigation, the order was from the KGB. Since 2021, I have the status of a political refugee in Ukraine, I write my column in «Ukrainian Pravda».

«The security forces told me that I was the last of the Mohicans, and that's what I'm holding on to». In September 2022, Alexander Andrushkevich swam across the Neman border with Lithuania, escaping from prison. Now he is asking for help to restore his psychological state and continue to live and work for the good of Belarus.

BYSOL fundraising

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.

Anksčiau, prieš prasidedant karui, mes ginėme moterų teises bei kovojome su smurtu nukreiptu prieš moteris ir vaikus Ukrainoje. Dabar, prasidėjus karui, mes teikiame tikslinę pagalbą moterims iš pažeidžiamiausių socialinių grupių, įskaitant moteris su mažais vaikais, daugiavaikės moteris, vyresnio amžiaus moteris, moteris su negalia bei LBGTQ bendruomenės atstoves.
