Gender Backlash & Democratic Values: Lessons from Latin America for Europe

In this episode of The European Dialogue, we explore the growing global pushback against gender equality and democratic values, and what Europe can learn from Latin America and the Caribbean. From anti-gender ideology campaigns to the strategic use of religion in politics, coordinated efforts to roll back women’s and LGBTIQ+ rights are reshaping democratic spaces across regions. This podcast is part of The European Dialogue series by the EU-VALUES Network. You can listen on Spotify, YouTube, or SoundCloud. Links below. We are joined by Magdalena Provis Ramírez, Executive Coordinator of the Observatory on Gender Backlash in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Observatory tracks and documents systematic efforts to undermine gender equality through innovative tools such as geolocation of policies, media monitoring, and institutional tracking. Her work not only supports responses in Latin America but also offers critical lessons for European actors monitoring democracy and human rights. Recorded as part of the EU-VALUES Network’s ongoing dialogue on global democratic challenges, this conversation highlights the importance of equal partnerships between Europe and Latin America — grounded in mutual learning, feminist solidarity, and shared strategies. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Why the Observatory on Gender Backlash was created ✅ How anti-gender movements operate across Latin America and Europe ✅ What EU institutions can learn from geolocation and policy-tracking methods ✅ Building more equal EU–Latin America partnerships ✅ Opportunities for collaboration with civil society, universities, and EU institutions ✅ How listeners can engage with and support the Observatory’s work At a time of democratic backsliding and global polarisation, this episode asks: how can feminist and democratic networks work together to resist coordinated backlash and strengthen shared values? 🔔 Learn more about the Observatory here: https://observabacklash.prigepp.org/ and get in touch directly with the team: - Blas Fernandez, bfernandez@flacso.org.ar - Magdalena Provis, magdalenaprovis@gmail.com 🔔 Stay updated with EU-VALUES.
