Social:Anti-rights movements
Anti-rights movements are movements, groups or campaigns that actively work against the recognition, protection, and advancement of human rights. These movements can target a variety of rights and marginalized groups. They often use misinformation, fear-mongering, and lobbying to undermine legal protections and social acceptance for targeted groups. [1][2] ODI described anti-rights movements as "a loose coalition of actors [that] has succeeded in stalling progress and undermining rights and freedoms," and that are "well-organised and extremely well-funded compared to progressive rights movements."[3]
UN Women described anti-gender, gender-critical and men's rights movements as examples of anti-rights movements in 2024.[4][5] Other movements described as anti-rights include anti-immigration and anti-racial equality movements.
