Abstract

Although resistance to the incorporation of ‘gender’ in human rights law and policies is not new, since 2013 anti-gender campaigns have articulated as movements and increased their visibility. More recently, the transnational dimension of the anti-gender offensive has become visible as a challenge to human rights standards, including the anti-violence against women project, and a process of democratic erosion. In this column, I make a short overview of this social and political phenomenon and describe how these anti-gender campaigns have entered the human rights systems and their discourse has shifted from religious justifications towards legal ones. I conclude with general suggestions to strengthen the resilience of the human rights systems to these processes.

超越性别平等?反性别运动和对人权和民主的侵蚀

尽管反对将“性别”纳入人权法律和政策并不新鲜，但自2013年以来，反性别运动已成为运动，并提高了其知名度。最近，反性别攻击的跨国层面已明显成为对人权标准的挑战，包括反对对妇女的暴力项目，以及民主侵蚀的过程。在本专栏中，我简要概述了这一社会和政治现象，并描述了这些反性别运动如何进入人权体系，以及它们的话语如何从宗教理由转向法律理由。最后，我提出了加强人权系统对这些进程的复原力的一般性建议。
