The Role of Media in European Anti-Gender Politics: Research Findings from the RESIST Project

This resource for journalists presents key findings from the RESIST Project on the role of media in shaping and amplifying anti‑gender politics across Europe. It examines how news coverage can generate and intensify anti‑gender controversies, the impact of these messages on civil society and democratic processes, and the mechanisms through which such narratives gain visibility and influence. By combining research insights with a practical glossary, the resource supports more informed, responsible reporting on gender‑related issues and their political implications. The insights presented in this toolkit are grounded in consultations and workshops with leading European experts in LGBTIQ+ rights, trans rights, women’s rights, and queer‑feminist resistance across various national contexts.
