Program and History of the Party "Nadzeya"
Party "Nadzeya" was created on April 28, 1994. On June 3, 1994 it was registered by the Ministry of Justice of Belarus as #23. The members of the Party are representatives of local
labor unions, active leaders of the trade unions and various women's
movements of Belarus, as well as unemployed women. The membership is
about 5,500 people. The party contains 39 head offices all across
the country, and four regional branches (Belarus has six territorial
regions). It is currently the only women's political party in Belarus of all 34 political parties.
The Party has been created to attract women to active social-political
activities, to make them participate in conducting social and economic
reforms, to build a democratic legal form of government based on the
principles of law, freedom, justice, and humanism.
The "Nadzeya" party has had high political rankings since its creation. In most political polls it is ranked
number one among all 34 political parties of Belarus. The Party keeps
close contacts with all political organizations of Belarus. It
participates in actions organized by the opposition. Thirty four members
of the party "Nadzeya" were the candidates to the Parliament of the
Republic of Belarus. During last year's election, however, the election
was shut down by President Alexander Lukashenko. Instead, he initiated a
controversial referendum on November 24, 1996. Just before the
referendum, together with seven other leading political opposition
parties, the "Nadzeya" party was initiator of the so called "Round Table",
one of the most famous political actions against the President's policy.
After the referendum, the political situation in the country has changed
dramatically. The "Nadzeya" party, as well as the other political
opposition parties, have become practically forbidden.
Besides the Chernobyl tragedy, Belarus currently has a very serious
demographic and economic situation. The number of unemployed women has
drastically increased. The number of diseased women, single mothers,
children without parents, extremely poor families is rising as well. That
is why the main direction of the "Nadzeya" party is to solve specific
social problems, to support needy women, to help families with many
children, and other categories of socially weak groups.
For this reason the "Nadzeya" party and the trade unions created the
social-educational center "Nadzeya" and discussion club "Nadzeya" to make
it at least a little easier to work in our difficult political
environment.
The Party has close contacts with many international women's organizations,
specifically, with the Women's Party of Lithuania, Japanese Women's
Organization "For Chernobyl Victims", social-democratic parties of
Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Poland, as well as women's organizations in the United States.
