The contributions show how transnational networks spread discourses that were developed in the Global North,and how they become re-articulated in different national,political and religious contexts.In recent years,issues of gender and sexuality have become a political battlefield on which far-right,religious and conservative actors wage their war against liberal and left-wing ideas,as well as emancipatory movements.  Anti-Gender  crusades,which had originally been launched by the Vatican,deeply impacted societies and politics especially as these discourses were adopted by the secular far-right. Campaigns against sexual and reproductive rights,against gender equality and sexual diversity,have become increasingly common in many countries around the world. These campaigns often rely on religious and cultural beliefs to justify their positions,and they often target vulnerable groups such as women,LGBTQ+ individuals and children.The book also explores how these anti-gender discourses are being challenged and resisted by feminist movements,activists and researchers around the world. The contributions show how feminist movements are using new technologies and social media to raise awareness about gender inequality and to mobilize support for their causes. They also show how feminist movements are working to challenge the power of religious and conservative actors who promote anti-gender discourses.The book also provides a solid basis for further research in local,national and regional contexts. The contributions offer new perspectives and information on different world regions,opening up new angles in research on transnational anti-feminist networks and the global spread of anti-gender discourses.The book is an important contribution to the field of gender studies and sociology,and it will be of interest to researchers,students and activists alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new book brings together research and analyses from five continents in order to promote a global perspective on the thoroughly global phenomenon of the current culture wars around sex and gender.
