Implication

Conceptual review uncovers links between political violence and anti-gender campaigns targeting feminist advocates, highlighting strategies to silence women in public life.

Key Points

  • Examine how violence against women in politics intersects with organized, transnational anti-gender political campaigns.
  • Synthesized frameworks from literature on violence against women in politics (VAWIP) and violence against women activists.
  • Evaluated the strategic actors, discourses, and mechanisms driving transnational anti-gender movements.
  • Gendered political violence functions as an enforcement mechanism to discipline, silence, or expel women and feminist advocates from public arenas.
  • Anti-gender politics operates as a structured, cross-border project deploying targeted resistance against feminist political participation.
