This joint statement, launched by a coalition of feminist, human rights and democracy organizations in Europe and beyond, affirms that anti-gender politics, including forms advanced under the label “gender-critical”, is part of a broader anti-rights movement. It highlights the growing use of lawfare to roll back human rights protections and silence scrutiny of anti-rights actors, and calls on human rights institutions, feminist organizations, political parties, trade unions, academic communities and civil society organizations to reject anti-gender politics in all its forms and to stand together in defense of universal human rights, democracy and the rule of law. We invite organizations to endorse the statement
