Gender equality is an ongoing struggle, and there is still a long way to go to achieve full equality of rights and opportunities between men and women. In the meantime, a new movement against gender equality is gaining traction in Europe, weakening democracies.
The EU-funded Push*Back*Lash project looks at the backlash against feminism and gender equality and its impact on democracy. It examines phenomena such as hate speech in social media, anti-equality debates in political parties and parliaments, and citizens’ attitudes towards democracy and feminism. In addition, the project will develop and test counter-strategies that can effectively counteract anti-gender and anti-feminist discourses.
To develop sustainable solutions, the research team brings together gender activists, EU experts and researchers from several fields such as political science, anthropology, communication and media, philosophy, sociology and social psychology.
The coordinating institution of the project is the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS). Project partners are the University of Exeter (UNEXE), University of Amsterdam (UvA), GESIS-Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften (GESIS), Eotvos Lorand Tudomanyegyetem (ELTE), Gender Five Plus (Gender 5+), Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), Universitat de Valencia (UVEG), Humanity in Action Polska (HiA Poland), YOUGOV PLC and the Theater der Unterdrückten Wien (TdU-Wien).
