Violence is a pathway to de-democratization in antigender politics, we argue in the @ccindle-eu.bsky.social project Report 👉🏽https://ccindle.org/deliverables/

‘This all points to an enhanced need for exploring ways in which policies include or exclude intersectional dimensions related to gender-based violence, to expose power dynamics that intersecting systems of inequalities produce and their effects on people and policymaking.’

‘Research is also emerging about violence against women politicians and marginalized groups in politics that is used to intimidate and expel the group from the public sphere (Krook 2020), therefore having a de-democratizing effect (Díaz-Fernández, Lombardo and Caravantes forthcoming).

Far-right parties attack the gender structural component of the concept of GBV, as does the Vox party in Spain, by denying the existence of ‘gender-based’ violence and reframing policies against GBV as ‘intrafamiliar’ violence and cutting benefits to victims (Alonso and Espinosa 2021).’

State and police violence against feminist and LGBTI activists is exercised in several states in Europe, including Hungary (Krizsan and Roggeband 2021).

‘Far-right anti-gender actors in parliaments tend to deploy aggressiveness and hate speech against women, racialized, and LGBTI people, even in the European Parliament that is considered a forerunner in gender equality (Kantola and Lombardo 2020).

Anti-gender actors have attacked gender-based violence policy reforms in the Council of Europe, the UN, and the EU, as shown by the mobilizations against the Istanbul Convention that aim to block progress in the framing and implementation of GBV policies (Berthet 2022; Krizsan and Roggeband 2021).’

In the updated chapter we discuss how ‘research in the 2020s has introduced new agendas focusing on the phenomenon of active opposition to gender equality and LGBTI rights (Krizsan and Roggeband 2021).
