Abstract (English)

An online launch event (23/04/2024) of project finding based on the first phase of the research on 'anti-gender' politics in Europe.

Our research reveals how transgender rights, feminism, and LGBTIQ+ advocacy are systematically attacked in politics and media. We have mapped how ‘anti-gender’ politics are produced and expressed in contemporary Europe. We have analysed hundreds of parliamentary debates and thousands of media articles in four case studies focusing on the UK, Poland, Switzerland, and Hungary, as well as the European Parliament, between 2016 and 2022.

Our research demonstrates that an intensive attack on LGBTQI+ people across Europe is advanced through attacking the very idea of ‘gender’. While so-called ‘anti-gender’ politics have been attacking feminism and reproductive rights for decades, this politics is not static, and ‘anti-gender’ actors are always on the look-out for new targets.
