This report explores the lived experiences of encountering ‘anti-gender’ politics, its effects, and resistances in nine case studies: Belarus, people living in exile in Europe, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Switzerland. We used the term ‘anti-gender’ cautiously recognising that it is not used, or only used in very specific ways, across the case studies and there is no agreed definition of the term. In this research, we focused on anti-LGBTIQ+, anti-feminism, anti-abortion and anti-sex work, as well as sexualised/gendered racisms and other intersectional marginalisations. We analyse how communities understand, experience, negotiate and resist ‘anti-gender’ politics, discourses and actions in their everyday lives.
