So you know how sometimes people can be different from each other? Like, maybe some people have green eyes and some people have blue eyes? Well, in Belarus, there is a group of people who are different from most other people who live there. They are called the Polish minority because most of them come from Poland, which is another country nearby.
Now, even though they live in Belarus, these people still have a lot of roots and traditions from Poland. For example, they might speak a different language or cook different kinds of food. They might even have different holidays that they celebrate.
Sometimes, though, it can be hard being part of a minority group. Other people who live in Belarus might not treat them fairly just because they are different. They might not include them in important decisions or give them the same opportunities. This is called discrimination, and it's not nice for anyone to experience.
But there are also people who want to make things better for the Polish minority in Belarus. They want to make sure they have equal rights and are treated with respect. It might take some time, but with hard work and kindness, things can get better for everyone.
