Across the globe, women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights are facing a coordinated backlash, but this resistance manifests in different ways depending on regional, cultural, and political contexts. In this episode, we are joined by Clare Hemmings, Professor of Feminist Theory at the LSE, to unpack the complexities of this pushback—examining the rollback of legal protections, the rise of anti-gender movements, and the broader societal shifts fueling these attacks. We also explore how narratives around \"gender ideology\" have evolved and why they hold such power today. Most importantly, we ask: how do we resist? Join us as we delve into the global landscape of this backlash and discuss strategies for pushing forward.
