Belarusian Woman Appeals to President Lukashenko Over Unemployment and Family Hardship

Grodno Region, Belarus – Zhanna, a former state employee with 22.5 years of experience and a legal background, has publicly appealed to President Alexander Lukashenko for assistance in finding employment. In a video released on July 11, 2025, Zhanna, a resident of the Grodno Region, stated she was compelled to resign from her position in February 2024 due to what she describes as biased treatment from the chairman of the local executive committee. She claims an "unobjective characteristic" from her previous workplace has hindered her efforts to secure new employment for nearly 1.5 years, despite numerous attempts and referrals from state employment services. Zhanna emphasized her urgent need for work, explaining that she is the sole caregiver for her 7-year-old adopted daughter. Her daughter underwent a complex cochlear implant surgery in May 2021 and requires ongoing medical care. "I need to live and treat my sick child," Zhanna stated, expressing her gratitude for attention and hope for a resolution. She highlighted the President's stated priority for women and children, suggesting that some officials are misusing their power, creating conflict between the government and its citizens. Zhanna reiterated her willingness and ability to work, seeking a fair opportunity to provide for her family.
