Dinâmicas transnacionais antigênero: uma análise da Declaração do Consenso de Genebra

Abstract

The Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family was signed in 2020, by thirty-two countries, with the intention, according to its architects, of defending women's health, protecting life at all stages, guarantee the sovereign right of each nation to make its own laws and promote the strengthening of the family. This research aims to analyze the Geneva Consensus, understanding the process of formation, articulation and formalization of the coalition arising from the document. To carry out this research, I use bibliographic and documentary methodology, using discourse analysis as a qualitative technique. Thus, I begin the work by mapping the main normative advances in the United Nations System regarding sexual and reproductive rights and the disputes that have formed around these rights, with the Cairo Conference (1994) as its starting point. Next, I analyze the anti-gender movements that have been consolidated in the last two decades, focusing on their emergence, discursive practices and sustained political action. Furthermore, I examine the DCG, through the text and the speeches and interests defended by the signatories. I conclude that the DCG is an anti-gender political project, the result of a process of international political contestation fueled by anti-gender movements. There is a construction of a transnational bloc that disputes the human rights narrative, activates the multilateral system and gradually promotes its corrosion through the construction of a path parallel to it.
