This open access book provides a comprehensive mapping of anti-gender mobilizations in Italy, Slovenia, France, Spain, Turkey, Poland, Greece, and Denmark. In recent years, Europe has witnessed the rise and consolidation of these mobilizations, posing significant challenges to progress in equality politics. While analyzing the key actors, strategies, and discourses driving these movements, the book also shifts its focus to feminist and LGBT+ resistance. Drawing on interviews with activists from eight European countries, it identifies key opposition strategies that increasingly reflect productive resistance. By examining these evolving forms of activism, the book sheds light on the threats posed by anti-gender mobilizations and the innovative responses that sustain feminist and LGBT+ movements in today's struggles. It will be of interest to researchers and students in gender studies, feminist studies, political sociology, and comparative politics.
