Reinstatement of “Mexico City Policy” will have far reaching consequences and violates human rights. Restricting access to safe abortion and contraception costs lives. ⁦⁩ We must continue to defend #SRHR for everyone, everywhere. https://t.co/x0nf8XG1Ge

💸 Anti-Gender Funding on the Rise 💸

Funding for anti-gender campaigns has quadrupled over the last decade, reaching a total of $707.2 million from 54 NGOs, foundations, religious organizations, and political parties. With the majority of funding coming from the EU (66.9%), Russia (26.6%), and the USA (11.5%), this growing financial support is a significant driver of anti-gender movements globally.

Recognizing and addressing the sources of this funding is critical to defending gender equality and human rights.

🔍 Diagnosing the Problem: A New Phenomenon in Our Societies 🔍

The intersection of social conservatism, far-right politics, and anti-gender actors has given rise to new challenges. This isn’t just an ‘opposition’ or ‘backlash’—it’s a new wave of actors with their own objectives and strategies, even adopting tools from human rights movements. It’s critical to recognize this shift and adapt our responses accordingly.
