CAN GENDER EQUALITY PLANS HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE?
In our society, gender equality continues to be a relevant issue that needs a voice. Although we have come a long way, many of the challenges women face today already existed 25 years ago when the Beijing Platform and Declaration for Action (BPDfA) was published, and we still have a long way to go. The BDPfA was – and still is – the most progressive document on women's rights and the most comprehensive global initiative ever designed. Gender equality is not, contrary to what many still think, a women's problem. It is a fundamental right and a prerequisite for an inclusive and future-focused society.
Backsliding from and within internationally recognised norms as well as the organised public backlash against sexual and reproductive health and rights as well as human rights of LGBTIQ* persons is currently a problem across large parts of Europe. On 30 March 2021, members of the Polish Parliament passed a bill to parliamentary committees that could see Poland withdraw from the Istanbul Convention and draft a new Convention of the Rights of the Family. The name of the proposed Polish law “Yes to Family – no to Gender” reflects well the central tenets of a transnationally organised anti-gender movement in Europe.
In this newsletter, we pose the question “No to what exactly?” and provide an introduction to the emergence, main lines of argumentation, and actors of the transnational anti-gender movement in Europe. To do so, we also take a look at the specific case of the Istanbul Convention. Furthermore, the newsletter provides insights into three focal topics: transnational financing structures of the anti-gender movement, increasing anti-trans attacks and corresponding counterstrategies, as well as gender-based cyber violence.
These posters were done for an anti-harassment campaign to give visibility to the park's protocols and policies regarding harassment and discrimination. They are in Catalan but we have them in English and Spanish too. If interested in some part of the poster in other formats, please get in touch!
