A #GenderBacklash is happening across the globe. Politicians and leaders are actively rolling back on women's rights and years of hard-won progress for power, votes, and ideology.
❌ This is not business as usual. We can no longer just say the words – we need to act.

A photo of two people sitting at a desk with a red table cloth, and a red graphic on a screen with text that reads 'building solidarities: gender justice in a time of backlash'. There are more people sitting in the audience listening to the people at the desk.
Fantastic to hear from Sohela Nazneen, Tessa Lewin, Maheen Sultan, Naomi Hoosain, and so many others on the state of #GenderBacklash, how it manifests globally, and how we can counter it.
