Anti-gender movements primarily seek to influence political strategy and policy-making with the ultimate aim of hampering, criminalising, illegalising or limiting the gender rights, sexual rights, and human rights entitlements of citizens. They are part of a wide movement which gathers groups opposed to feminism, LGBTI rights, gender equality, as well as contraception, immunisation, abortion and comprehensive sexuality education.

In this episode, Carine Weiss talks to Neil Datta about how crucial it is to understand the organisation and strategies of anti-gender groups for human rights defenders to effectively respond to the group’s efforts to undermine sexual and reproductive health rights. Achieving Gender Equality implies taming the anti-gender tide.
