Who If Not Us? The Fight for Democracy in Belarus

In 2020, the largest demonstrations against the government took place in Belarus. Demonstrators were subjected to violence and restrictions, and many were sentenced to harsh prison terms. A dangerous climate aimed at stifling political activism has taken hold. Who If Not Us? The Fight for Democracy in Belarus follows three women at the forefront of the protests: Nina Baginskaya, a woman in her seventies who has been active in the fight for an inclusive Belarus since the 1980s; Tatsyana ‘Tanya’ Hatsura-Yavorskaya, founder of a human rights film festival; and Darya Rublevskaya, a young activist working for a human rights centre.
