Bolstered by far-right rhetoric and disinformation, these attacks obstruct progressive politics and threaten gender equality, LGBTIQ+ rights, and anti-racism policies and practices. This policy brief outlines key feminist institutional responses from within political institutions such as parliaments, and actionable policy recommendations to counter anti-gender influence and to ensure a robust commitment to equality and core democratic principles.Most parliaments face anti-gender hostilities. Even the European Parliament, a historical champion and a pioneer for gender equality in some fields, sees its activities to be increasingly influenced by anti-gender actors. In all studied parliaments, anti-gender actors deploy tactics to influence the legislative process, such as disinformation campaigns and direct harassment against feminist parliamentarians who defend gender-based violence measures, reproductive rights, LGBTIQ+ rights, and anti-racism policies and practices. The increasing normalization of hate speech, the reconfiguration of political alliances towards a growing coalition between conservatives and far-right groups and the targeted defunding of equality organizations are a direct consequence of the lack of coordinated response to the threat.UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) (grants 10051932 y 10048433)NoCSIC - Instituto de Políticas y Bienes Públicos (IPP)DIGITAL.CSICConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (España)European CommissionBerthet, Valentine [0000-0001-5447-1180]Kantola, Johanna [0000-0001-6214-1640]Pihlajamaa, Matti [0009-0005-8010-7880]Lombardo, Emanuela [0000-0001-7644-6891]Díaz Fernández, Silvia [0000-0002-9118-8090]Caravantes, Paloma [0000-0002-5012-7515]Valentine Berthet [valentine.berthet@tuni.fi]; Johanna Kantola [johanna.kantola@helsinki.fi]; Silvia Díaz Fernández [sidiaz02@ucm.es] ; Paloma Caravantes [paloma.caravantes@cchs.csic.es]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202620262025info:eu-repo/semantics/otherhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_186uinfo:eu-repo/semantics/reporthttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/428157reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
