This Report is focused on mapping anti-gender discourses in media and parliamentary debates across five case studies: the European Parliament, UK, Poland, Switzerland and Hungary. Overall, the research found an animated anti-gender political landscape characterised by ideological agitation and political opportunism, pronounced fixations and a fluid focus on often interchangeable targets and issues. There are clear continuities in the targeting of equality, and gender and sexual diversity, however these intersect with, and are transformed by an emerging repertoire of discourses and practices. Findings demonstrate that to understand anti-gender mobilisations, we need to pay attention to the transnational circulation, unconventional political alliances, strategies of controversy-generation, and competition for media attention – all of which promote anti-gender politics.
