Variables: EWCMS-DATA-3
For the required timeframe, 2020 to present, no data was found on prosecutions of intra-military rape or sexual assault within the Belarusian Armed Forces. No cases brought, dismissed, or dropped were identified in any source — governmental, NGO, journalistic, or scholarly. This absence directly follows from EWCMS-DATA-2: with no documented incidents of soldier-on-soldier sexual assault and near-total exclusion of women from the armed forces, there is no prosecutorial record to locate. Belarus maintains no published military justice statistics and no independent oversight body that would surface such cases even if they existed. This variable is best coded as little to no potential given current force composition (MR-CODER COMMENT).more

Variables: EWCMS-DATA-2
For the required timeframe, 2020 to present, no documented evidence was found of rape or sexual assault between servicemembers within the Belarusian Armed Forces. No rates, estimates, personal testimonies, or institutional reports addressing intra-military sexual violence were located. The potential for this variable is structurally limited: women are formally excluded from combat roles and the Military Academy, meaning mixed-gender intra-military contact is negligible. The post-Soviet hazing tradition of *dedovshchina* — documented to include sexual humiliation and assault in Russian and other post-Soviet forces — is the most plausible vector for intra-military sexual violence in Belarus, but no Belarus-specific incidents have been publicly documented in this period. This variable is best...more

For the required timeframe, 2020 to present, no documented evidence was found of practices within the Belarusian Armed Forces that encourage or discourage intra-military rape/assault, cover up such incidents, or encourage victims to report. This gap is largely structural: women are formally excluded from combat roles and effectively barred from the Military Academy, meaning the most commonly documented form of this variable — servicemembers assaulting fellow servicemembers — has virtually no institutional basis to occur. The closest relevant precedent is the post-Soviet hazing tradition known as *dedovshchina*, which has historically included sexual humiliation and assault as tools of dominance over junior conscripts in post-Soviet militaries, and which Belarusian officials acknowledge...more

According to Belarus Criminal Code, 'Rape' is defined as sexual intercourse against the will of the victim using violence or the threat of violence against the woman or her loved ones. It also says this act means taking advantage of the victim’s defencelessness, including rape committed repeatedly, rape by a group of persons, rape of a female known to be a child and rape resulting through negligence in the death of the victim or causing grievous bodily harm, infection with HIV or other serious consequences. However, Belarus does not have a military-specific sexual violence law. What exists are general criminal laws that theoretically apply to everyone, including soldiers and military...more
