Just fifty years after the women’s movement, we are now seeing achievements we took for granted come under enormous attack. Around the world, political actors are on the rise who want to restore a supposedly “natural order”. Women and LGBTQI+ are acutely threatened by this. Among other things, the right to decide about your own body, the right to protection from domestic violence, access to safe abortions, and to modern reproductive technologies are being weakened or abolished. There is also a lack of gender equality in the labor market, in politics and in culture, and in many places the representation of women is declining again.<\/p>\n
Responsible for this global backlash are ultra-conservatives and right-wing extremists from all over the world: academics, religious groups, activists, aristocrats and oligarchs. They join together in transnational, cross-border, alliances. Politics concerning women and family also have a more general purpose: ultraconservatives expand their networks and their power worldwide along these themes. By changing terminology, language, images, and communicative and operational strategies, they succeed in presenting fundamentalist positions as normal and thus anchoring them in the mainstream. This shift of public debate to the right has serious implications for democratic, pluralistic societies and everyday coexistence. Values long thought to be outdated have been insidiously made acceptable again.<\/p>\n
Journalists, activists and researchers from all over the world have been observing these ultra-conservative strategies and practices for years. Their findings and experiences will be made visible and debated for a broader public during the two-day forum Your body is a battleground<\/em>.
