Excerpts..., by Ursus (June 25, 2013 0:17 am)

Foreign land, strangers. It's funny. It was there that life took a turn. At 720 degrees. It was there that he saw her for the first time. Something pinched in his chest. Didn't matter. Young man, well, your mother. You can't leave such things unattended. This is what made you fly. And everyone left. And you left a strange impression of yourself. So without saying the right words. You were given "grief pills". Then still not knowing how this kindness will backfire on you ... "

Stoned, stoned, stoned, fucked.
I draw an ass with chalk and catch it at the same time,
Line rise, nose fall, you lie and look askance.

Sometimes it seems to me that they are laughing at me
And this laughter is sinister and bad
Sometimes you hear saucers beating somewhere
And some kind of wild and muffled howl.

And besides, on butyrate, my best friend planted
Bright yellow squirrels, tar in the lungs, nicotine
Cheerful pupils, that's such a nerd I am

You know, we give little beautiful things to good ones, but there are fewer and fewer of them now. In times or in three, and can and in more!? Soon there won't be any for us. Time flies its arrows like wings, we spend it as an unworthy stranger, like a blind moth, burned wingless, with a mortal hope we soar uselessly. We are looking for that light that is safe, somehow at least something - not much similar, in our sadly tired eyes, but we stumble into a hellish flame, or one that has long been burned, a false truth, more and more often ...

As soon as the dawn breaks,
To become a little poet in your heart,
And to leave the first trace in the forest.

And the chief inquisitor ordered
Burn the girl in the name of our faith.

comments 2 , views 1268 , last comment0001 One Billion Rising is a worldwide dance campaign that started in 2012 and takes place in 190 countries. This year, Belarus also joined in: on St. Valentine's Day, a dance flash mob against violence against women took place in Minsk.

One of the organizers of the action tells about how the idea to hold such a flash mob in Minsk came about, and how she participated in it.

Olga Gorbunova : The idea was born spontaneously. All these 4 years we have been watching what was happening, and there was always some feeling inside: well, yes - an action, no one in Belarus is holding ... Well, it's a pity, a pity ... But this year we decided to do it. On the one hand, this is, of course, an attempt to draw attention to the problem in some way, but on the other hand, this is a very special personal experience. In fact, we ourselves did not imagine what we would face. When we came up with this, I didn’t plan to dance myself, I thought: oh, well, we’ll stir up something now, and I’ll stand there, turn on the sound, for example. It seemed to us: well, we already did something important - we submitted an application to the Minsk City Executive Committee, found a room. This is our contribution. To be honest, I would have been embarrassed to dance a week and a half ago, I would have been embarrassed, in general, I would probably have felt like a complete fool. But everything has changed. These rehearsals were magical. I don’t know what kind of energy it is, but I liked dancing, I realized that I can dance.

It's definitely not just a dance or just a song. Very important were the people who were next to the rehearsals. Together we did not succeed and together we began to succeed. It is unlikely that when it all ends today, we will understand: oh, it was so effective! But at the moment, neither I nor, I'm sure, the other participants regret at all that they signed up for this. It will pass as it will. Since it could only take place here - not on the street, but indoors (Minsk City Executive Committee did not give permission to hold a rally near the Pobeda cinema - ed. ), where there will be not 5 thousand people, as in Berlin, but it’s good if 15 But it will still be, and we will still dance today. Anyway, today we will talk about our topic and what needs to be done to reduce violence against women.

© On Valentine's Day, Minsk hosted a dance flash mob against violence against women

During the flash mob, participants dance to the song "Brake the chain", which was specially written for this action by an American composer and songwriter Tenoy Clark. Among others, there are the following words:

“I dance because I love, I dance because I dream, I dance because I'm tired, I dance to stop screaming, I dance to break the foundations, I dance to stop the pain, I dance to turn everything upside down... It's time to break the chains. Come on, come on! Break the chain."

Olya

I dance so that women understand that they are people, they deserve to love, be loved, be happy, fulfill themselves. They have the right to all this, and no one has the right to take it away from them. I dance because today is a holiday. And today my close friend will come, who also lived in a situation of violence for many years, she will just look - she is very shy, but she is slowly getting out of this situation. I am glad that I was able to change my life and now the people around me are changing. Evil is leaving.

Polina

"In fact, I don't even remember ever feeling like this while dancing."

People of different ages standing in rows energetically dance to the music in a large bright room decorated with purple balloons. There are smiles on their faces. The same purple ribbons are tied on the hands.

In fact, this flash mob is danced by a lot of different people. I watched a lot of videos from different years on youtube. There are groups from five to five thousand people. And indoors, and on the street, and on the beach, anywhere ... Ie. we are not some kind of freaks, because we dance in the Pobeda cinema. The point is not how beautifully or correctly you dance, but simply in the dance itself. Everyone dances in different ways - to whom it is more comfortable and more convenient. I started going to rehearsals and they were a very unifying experience for me. It was today that we danced for 5 minutes, and that's it ... And at rehearsals we got together, spent time together, it really united us. At first I was very nervous, but everything went away when I came here and started dancing with everyone.

Very different, but incredibly bright and beautiful faces, thousands of smiling women dancing for each other, dancing in spite of - it's very strong. Separately, I was impressed by the video from San Francisco, where the flash mob was supported by prisoners, including men. It is a pity that our action was not as numerous as we would like to see. But if today, for example, five thousand Minskers are not ready to join such an event, this does not mean that they will not come out next time.

Maybe I didn't manage to turn off my head and merge in a single dance ecstasy with all the wonderful people, but I feel completely boundless gratitude to everyone who was around. After all, all this is really about support and solidarity - how ready we are to support people like us, and especially those who are worse off than we are now. Sometimes it's just enough to know that there is someone around who cares about how hard it is for you. These things are important because they remind you that you are stronger than you think. We make each other stronger. And if at least one woman through such actions hears and understands that she is not alone, that we are together and ready to support each other - all this was not in vain.

People standing in rows dancing with their hands up. There are smiles on their faces. Each dancer wears a purple ribbon on her right hand.

Milana

This is a unique experience - getting your body back. I have not danced anywhere, even at home by myself for many years - because I am shy, I look bad, because the body in the dance “should be” sexy or something.

“There was no evaluation in this dance, there was no “look of another” – only support for every woman who came here. I am very grateful to everyone who danced with us, to my friends who came just to support, to be with us on this day”

Dasha

After finishing the dance, the participants stand with their right hand raised. Their hands are clenched into fists, index fingers pointing up. Their whole body also tends to rise. Their faces show confidence and pride.

The organizers of the One Billion Rising action in Minsk told in more detail about the purpose of the campaign and the specifics of the Belarusian statistics.

Olga Gorbunova: We chose this day for ourselves not only because it is the day of the international global company One Billion Rising, but also because we are already tired of talking about our topic only on November 25, the International Day for the Protection of Women from Violence , or March 8th. I would like to talk about this more often, because the problem does not lose its relevance, unfortunately. One can even say that every year the situation worsens. For example, in Belarus, even if we take official statistics on crimes and offenses, this, unfortunately, is an upward trend.

In a nutshell, the goal of the campaign is to amplify the voice of vulnerable women. The campaign of 2016, in addition to general speaking about the topic of violence against women, is designed to draw attention to even more vulnerable groups, such as refugee or migrant women, women living below the poverty line, unemployed women, women with disabilities, LGBTQI groups , victims of sex trafficking, labor slavery, war crimes, etc.

In Belarus, we probably do not have such a wide range of types of violence on the part of society or the state against women - for example, we do not currently have war crimes, female circumcision or rituals of burning widows, etc. But at the same time, the problems that women in Belarus face are also a large number - ranging from economic ones related to the list of prohibited professions, with the difference in wages, and ending with huge statistics related to domestic violence.

In our opinion, there is no "we" - we, an abstract society, and "they" - victims of violence, women who have suffered from violence. According to Belarusian statistics, every 3rd woman suffers from physical violence in the family. It is, in fact, all of us. All of us women have experienced such traumatic experiences in one way or another. Therefore, it was very joyful for us when women of very different ages joined the dance flash mob, most likely education, although we did not ask for any vital interests, with children and convinced childfree. Maybe because the music is like that and the dance is like that, but in fact it was a valuable and unique experience for each of us.

“Very different people who just found information on social networks, came and showed their participation, interest - in fact it was very pleasant and very inspiring”

People standing in rows are dancing with their hands up. The face of the dancer in front is lit up with a happy smile. Blurred silhouettes of other people are visible in the background.

Olga Yanchuk: I would like to add some figures about official statistics and some facts related to the population's attitude to this problem. When asked how you feel about violence, more than 90% say "bad". Violence is bad. "But under certain conditions it can be applied." About 5% of both men and women name the conditions under which it can still be used: “if she does not look after children well, if her food burns, if she went out and did not say where she went”, etc.

Research in 2014 clearly shows the double standards that men and women pronounce in relation to each other's behavior. About 45% of men say that insults, humiliation, etc. can be used against women. But no more than 30% will say that it can be used in relation to themselves. The same applies to threats and the fact that women can be forbidden to communicate with relatives, friends, girlfriends. Those. this policy of double standards is found at every turn, with an official sign or label that violence is bad, "but in my behavior I allow and justify a lot of things."

Accordingly, now I think that all our efforts should be focused on trying to motivate people not to be indifferent and start acting.

“If I am a person who has a certain traumatic experience in my life, address and talk about it. If I am a witness to such a situation, then I should also act, help, react accordingly, creating conditions so that a person can ask for help. Of course, I would like to see more people who are not indifferent to the event itself and to this problem. It is a little frustrating that there are few people, that there are few representatives of the media who could support us. It is important to be more attentive to each other. If a person sees another ... Many do not even know the name of the neighbor in the stairwell or why this woman is hiding with a black eye ... If we treat each other better and help, then there will be much less problems. And now, unfortunately, the numbers are growing over the years. Once again, I congratulate everyone on February 14th. I am sure that love will save humanity.
