Minsk (Belarus), 12 Aug (EFE/EPA), (Camera: Tatyana Zenkovich).- Post-electoral protests continue in Belarus but are losing strength after the exile of the unified opposition candidate, Svetlana Tijanovskaya, and the harsh repression of demonstrations by the security forces. The demonstrations have mobilised the country's women, who have seen in them a chance to make their voices heard, which were silenced during the years of Lukashenko's rule. On Wednesday, hundreds of women formed human chains in different neighbourhoods of Minsk to express their solidarity with the demonstrators arrested during the three days of protest following the elections.

Although pro-Western parties managed to oust the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government in October 2023 elections, women are voicing anger and frustration over delays in changing the laws on women's reproductive rights. The PiS's eight-year rule saw access to abortion, in-vitro fertilisation and emergency contraception tightened. IMAGES
