In the stands; head of state Alexander Lukashenko was also present at the show. The participants of the festival managed to create a magical atmosphere and immerse pupils of childrens social institutions, children with disabilities, as well as students of sports schools into the enchanting worlds of gymnastics. We were able to combine cultures and Different Countries in such a way, we just cried with emotion, we really enjoyed the whole festival. Our true brotherhood is demonstrated. The connection between belarus and russia was extended. Our elizaveta zorkina and Ekaterina Seleznyova prepared number two sisters. The highlight was alina gornoskos performance. There was also a place for stories from the ancient greek origins of the sport to asidora duncan. Let us remind you that this year russian rhythmic gymnastics celebrates its ninetieth anniversary. As for the belarusian partners, everything was at a high level. Once again i want to thank everyone who participated in this holiday and who helped us. Children, choreographers, coaches, and its great that, of course, there is sport, there is art, because sport and art unite our people, our nations, yes, we are all different, but we are all together. It seems to me that this is a real holiday, a real holiday of sports, beauty, games, the fact that the festival has come abroad is great, it brings all the festival participants closer together. The festival ended with a traditional parade, which united different cultures, but at the same time showed the uniqueness of each girl. One of the warmest holidays of the year, march 8 , was traditionally celebrated in our country with a beautiful race on the shore of the chuzhovsky reservoir, about 500 representatives of the fair sex competed at a distance of 3. 00 m. First of all, the love for a Healthy Lifestyle won, and how could it be otherwise, after all, its spring on the calendar. Our correspondent olesya chichura chose a working day instead of a day off on march 8, went to butiran and, as a result, collected the sports emotions of this holiday in her story. Shoes for sneakers, evening dresses for creative suits, oh no, this is not an exchange option, but an advantageous offer to host an International Womens event in a sporty way day, and this is truly a winning decision; they certainly did not regret it at a beautiful race. It has already become traditional for belarusian girls to celebrate the spring holiday like this while running in the company of likeminded women. This year, of course, was no exception, and on march 8 the crowding of the arena, the concentration of colors, charming smiles and flowers was off the charts. A Beautiful Run is not just a run, but a charge of emotion and positivity for the whole year. I was waiting for this moment to perk up, and on a day like this, when i run, i seem to come to life after that. I recharged, just magical, in fact , i have already participated a lot and every time there is such a festive atmosphere, fun, friendly atmosphere, this is our first race, personally my first race, my child usually participates, but i thought that at 43 i would never start its late, i connected my friend , you will never see such a concentration of beautiful girls, not in the whole year, we are pleased with prizes, good mood, cool music, in general everything is super, so we will yes. It was easy for the participants to run, or the weather was helping, a its worth noting that on march 8, even the sun came out to congratulate the girls, or the support of loved ones inspired and gave strength. I ran easily, always, when in a big, beautiful company, it was somehow completely unnoticeable, especially in the spring, the sun was very warm today, it helped, and there was a very good mood when you plunged into this atmosphere of healthy, happy, wonderful. Sports people. Women who simply carry you on this wave, you run so easily, it seems to you that you ran, i dont know, 500 meters, but you didnt 3 km, the atmosphere is generally very cool , very solemn, we were very lucky with the weather, with a support group, the boys were great, but i regretted that i didnt start doing this earlier, what would a holiday be without gifts, at the finish line each athlete was greeted with a stylized medal, flowers and of course , hugs and congratulations from loved ones. You dont have to be an athlete , you can just go for a walk and get this boost of energy, its cool, really , a riot of creative colors, a beautiful race took place in minsk for the eighth time more than 500 beautiful ladies from all over belarus. Thats all for today, arena will be on air in a week, so see you. This is belarus, the main thing on the air belros, in the studio pavel lazovik, hello, beautiful power with which it is impossible. Not to be reckoned with, you are the only one who is in front, in the vanguard of this patriotic movement, it is you who love your country, your homeland, like no one else, and the roles of the fair half of humanity, in politics, society and, of course, in the family, a sincere conversation from the president of belarus with the activists of the belarusian womens union, resist the pseudofreedoms of the west together, preserving traditional values. It has already been decided once and for all, on the approaches of the union state in family policy, experts from belarus and russia. Belarusian construction site in ancient suzdal. Every time there are some new points of contact that allow us, rather than turning to distant countries for the supply of some products, to look for a partner closer within. And a trip along the Augustow Canal at the main exhibition site in moscow. The recent trend is that we, together with Russian Companies began to enter the markets of third countries, the mutual interests of belarus and the vladimir region and new horizons of the grodno region outside the embrace of russia. In the beginning there was the word and faith. There is now a very big struggle for the word, and from europe, you know, they want to divide it. Through the book we learn about our past, through the book we learn how people live in different parts of the world. We acquire knowledge through books. This is very. This is the festival of orthodox books in minsk, as a symbol of common spiritual and moral values. In the atmosphere of spring, love beauty, congratulations on woman of the week day are accepted by representatives of the fair half of humanity. Alexander lukashenko also congratulated the belarusians on the holiday. The Womens Movement in the country has become a force to be reckoned with. This is the president of belarus. Noted at a meeting with activists of the belarusian womens union. A sincere conversation is symbolic on the eve of the holiday. Representatives of the fair half realize themselves in all areas, even hightech. Logical innovative, very soon a belarusian woman, for example, will go into space, but despite all the active public role , the main purpose of beautiful ladies is to be a mother, the belarusian leader is sure, the president assured the state that it will continue to fully support motherhood and childhood, and those who symbolize beauty and creation are the main theme of the program. This movement is often called soft power, and Alexander Lukashenko is a powerful diplomatic weapon. Over the past decade, the belarusian womens union has truly become a noticeable phenomenon in public life. The scope is such, and these are 17 participants from all regions of the largest and smallest that have to be taken into account. So a womans perspective on the development of society is important to the president. And this meeting is not just an opportunity to congratulate and reward belarusian women, but also a serious conversation about the present and, of course, the future. It is you who acutely feel responsibility for the fate of your country. You are worried about its future, this is undeniable, you are in first place here, you are the only one in the vanguard of this patriotic movement, it is you who love your country, your homeland, as much as no one else, there is a corresponding justification for this, you only love children, love. Therefore, the future, you want us to be quiet, calm, our country to prosper. The womens union is the same age as independence, by historical standards nothing at all, but by this time it was responsible for the involvement of women throughout the country in public life, many social projects, and noticeable political activity. A single voting day confirmed that women in politics are not random people and more so. The entire belarusian Peoples Assembly is vested constitutional statuses. Female president , Alexander Lukashenko emphasizes a special reverent attitude towards the belarusian woman, she is a mother, a housewife, a manager, and a specialist, all in one person at a professional and personal level. The issue of gender inequality is not even worth mentioning, this is again a president ial position, but if you ask what is more important, Alexander Lukashenko values everything, but motherhood especially promises and will continue to do so in the future. State support for mothers and families is guaranteed. All mothers, and those preparing to become them, are concerned about the question will the state continue to support motherhood and childhood . You feel correctly, the essence of this issue is that this is a very expensive matter. We are the most social state, we probably have dozens, hundreds of benefits for the population and especially for women, and the Family Capital is millions of dollars. Thats why you feel it so subtly, but will the state endure it, will it be able to . I dare to assure, under any conditions and circumstances, our state will bear this burden in full, and if necessary, beyond these volumes, they will child benefits are paid with an upward trend, no one encroaches on parental leave, we will find the necessary funds so that. Medicine keeps pace with the world, we are close to this, and Childrens Health centers are a role model. There are many mothers in the room with many children, and many of the children are not of the same age; the eldest is 29, the youngest is one year and 10 months old, there are only four sons and one daughter. How she manages to do everything while also working as a salesperson, mom marina answers simply. Nothing is difficult, they help each other , they are friendly, the elders help. Thats how it is now, but whats next is a question from the audience. When we introduced this practice of Family Capital, we had 63, in my opinion, thousands of large families somewhere, now there are 120three, judge for yourself, we are solving the most important issue, there is no more important issue than the addition, growth of our population. They will already be mothers, what about stability, thats the message. How do you see belarus in 2035 . Youth, for the future nadya didnt quite understand the hint about the thirtyfifth year, i ll still try to live until the thirtyfifth years, although lately even your boss, i often feel it in my gut, is beginning to believe that i am very ill. Here we are the aggressors, 160,000 people came to belarus, and before the war there were another 150,000, thats how many refugees there were, so what if we push our people out, everyone comes and lives with pleasure, but why are we, sitting in a cell in the city, afraid 50 km away, yes, even 100, 120, good roads, go away and buy this plot for pennies. I feel it, and i know this for sure, because next to me in my team there really is a reliable rear, in the person of the head of state, this is a truly reliable rear that guarantees security, and we feel. Calm, they will say directly and we can do a lot, but sometimes you really want to rely on a strong masculine, not compete and nothing else you dont have to prove to a friend who is more responsible, hardy or independent, but to be partners or allies, as you like, in society, in business, in life. And now i shared about the strong beauty of belarus in numbers, with fresh data for womens day. Belstat, so, in belarus almost 5 million women live, and this is almost 54 of the total population; there are 1,165 women per thousand men. The average age of belarusian women is 43. 5 years, while at the time of their first marriage, the average age of women is 26. 5 years, and in the second marriage it is almost 40. Every third belarusian woman got married at age in the twentythird year. From 20 to 24 years old, but almost 600 women confirmed the popular expression that all ages are submissive to love; they tied the knot after 65, and 42 belarusians did this for the first time in their lives. And the roles belarusian woman in the family, professional sphere, well, in general in modern society. Lets talk to an expert studio guest. In the field of family policy, candidate of Economic Sciences, associate professor anna yashchuk. Anna yashchuk, candidate of Economic Sciences , associate professor, dean of the faculty of advanced training of the institute of information technologies, Belarusian State University of informatics and radio electronics, member of the belarusian womens union, member of the union of women scientists of belarus, participant in the project super woman of belarus, graduated from belarus. State Economic University and graduate school of the academy of management under the president of the republic of belarus, author of more than forty scientific works, scientific interests, national economy, social policy, demography, family policy, socioeconomic processes. Anna , our topic today, on the one hand, is so beautiful , on the other, serious, powerful, as the president of belarus put it, how to combine so many roles for a woman and a career and. Success , professional selfrealization, and motherhood, and family. Well, probably a woman initially ready for the fact that she cannot fulfill one role, but the president also said that a woman should first of all be a mother, in so many roles that are assigned to a woman, you need to clearly set priorities to understand what is more important to you in first of all. Of course, a modern woman limits herself only to motherhood, probably no longer. Wants, another time, another century, she wants fulfillment, professional activity, an active position, moving forward, but it is really very important how much a woman should for to decide to be a mother, this is probably her direct destiny, how does the belarusian state help in this, the measures that have been created, are being taken, stimulate an increase in the birth rate and the desire to become a mother . Of course, i want to say that in the republic of belarus, in my opinion , unprecedented measures are being taken and have already been taken, because 11 types of benefits, three years of paid Maternity Leave, we are probably the only country in the world, in the postsoviet space, that pays so much attention provides such assistance. The only thing i would like to say is that today, indeed, the measure of material. Such a tendency gives rise to everyday life, heres how to find this line, help someone who needs it and not, lets say, not allocate them for a not entirely intended purpose, this is , probably, the task of the state, through control and through targeted assistance. Including, you said, lets go back to the beginning of the conversation, measures are being taken at the legislative level to support working women who are successful in the profession, including those who want to. Starting a family, becoming a mother, what kind of innovations, perhaps, will be adopted at the legislative level . Yes, of course, for quite some time now we have been talking about the need for employers to be more active in providing opportunities for women with children, providing flexible forms of employment, parttime work, thinking about a schedule that is convenient for women, developing homebased work, or instead of a mother dad, of course, but. At the legislative level this has already been done, we are on Maternity Leave the father and close relatives may be present, so the choice here is quite large, only the family, by negotiating internally, must decide, indeed, who can afford it, who wants to be on Maternity Leave. You as an expert , is there this relationship, the success of busy women, including those who become mothers, judging by the statistics, taking into account that more than 50 of our managers are women today, that is, we gender equality is good, president talked about this, yes, more than good, it seems to me that even for an employer, in general, a woman with a family and children is a more stable, reliable employee with an increased threshold of responsibility, because she has those people at home the children for whom he is responsible, minor children, what do these statistics say . Well, the statistics are remarkable, they say that women are given every opportunity to combine these roles, which means the woman feels protected, because except for the threeyearold Maternity Leave, according to our legislation, a woman retains her job until the child reaches 5 years of age, that is, she may not go out after three years of Maternity Leave, but on different conditions, of course, including stabilizing the increasing population, by the way, again, at a meeting with the belarusian womens union, our president said that the territory of our country allows us to freely accommodate 15 to 20 million people, therefore, in fact, all efforts are aimed at strengthening our positions and in population. Here are some more statistics more than half of women have one child, almost 35 of belarusian women have two children, 10 of working belarusian women have three or more children, in general, more children are being born in belarus, and large families are also in fashion. Of course, the announcement of the National Family project in itself was part of president putins message to the federal assembly. A is in many ways significant, because a continues the policy of preserving the strengthening of traditional spiritual and moral values, a Strong Family, as we know, is such value, this project will be implemented within three main directions, well , first of all, this is direct Financial Support for th
