“…Anti-gender movements also dispute-and recently with considerable success-the defining power and cultural norms of gender and sexuality. The current gender conflicts in the region confirm, quite clearly, that the discourse of "gender ideology" has been used to unite a morally motivated front of different extremist political actors, religious and secular, of the conservative camp (Facchini and Sívori 2017; Miskolci and Pereira 2018;Wasser and França 2020).…”

“…7 6 Significantly, Butler's work is not uncontroversial among feminists, many of whom have critiqued her argument in Gender Trouble that dismantles not only gender norms but the sex binary. After the protest, a group of scholars organized a conference to discuss not only Butler's ideas but broader organizing in the feminist and queer community in Brazil (see Miskolci and Pereira 2018). Neither "gender ideology" nor its opponents are a homogenous or unified bloc.…”

Fears of immigration and demographic change have fueled nativist, pro-natalist movements that support the reproductive, heteronormative family as a vital political project shaping their rhetoric and politics. This paper argues that right-wing populist movements can be situated within heteroactivsm, as reactionary movements positioning themselves against challenges to the heteronormative family. I suggest that understanding the populist character of these movements can help theorize why so many right-wing populists echo specific claims about gender and race. By situating their political claims in biological claims about sex, gender and race, these movements contrast themselves with abstract ideals of universal human rights, neoliberal rationality, and cosmopolitan globalism, embracing the traditional family, gender norms, and heterosexual reproduction. They encourage normative family promoted through state policy of rewarding proper families and punishing improper social reproduction—whether literal reproduction or the cultural reproduction of values. Tracing the broad outlines of a political project anchored in the reproductive bodies of women, I argue for greater attention to the ways the heteroactivist project is central to right-wing populism and its multi-scalar manifestations.

“…This suppression ignored the extensive body of Brasilian legal and political guidelines and seriously affected the development and implementation of public policies to prevent GBV against women and girls, particularly in schools (Nascimento and Arruda 2015: 4-6;Pasinato and Lemos 2017: 21). During Judith Butler's visit to Brasil in 2017, she was attacked by anti-gender supporters as they saw her as the 'creator' of the 'gender ideology'; although, her visit to Brasil was to talk about democracy, not about gender theories, in which she clarifies that has never denied biological differences, which Scala claimed to be denied by 'gender ideology' supporters (Butler 2017;Miskolci and Pereira 2018;Scala 2011). IJCJSD In 2018, the School without Homophobia materials were once again under attack in disinformation campaigns that turned to be highly politicised.…”

Conservative religious, activist and political groups fuel gender backlash in many spaces. This paper explores this phenomenon and its effects on educational programs designed to prevent gender-based violence in Brasilian schools. It argues that this gender backlash in educative spaces violates fundamental rights, like the right to equality and protection against discrimination and violence, and ultimately contributes to the continuity and escalation of gender-based violence in Brasil. This context shapes advocacy work and the facilitators and participants of its programs. Primary prevention research is mainly conducted in the Global North. This article, guided by a southern feminist framework and informed by 14 interviews with Brasilian advocates engaged in youth gender-based violence prevention programs, addresses a significant knowledge deficit and offers new insights in working in challenging contexts. It suggests that the backlash is mostly directed at LGBTIQA+ cohorts due to the ongoing political attacks on these groups, but it has also undermined the capacity of educational prevention strategies for gender-based violence more widely.
