The point of departure for our workshop are the antifeminisms currently on the rise, which are (not only) expressed in right wing and populist patterns of argumentation, but also increasingly in the conservative backlash. Departing from antifeminist discourses and movements in Germany and also worldwide, the focus of the workshop will be on different feminist strategies, campaigns and counter-movements: We want to discuss campaigns/movements such as #metoo or also the International Women’s March – What were the reactions, results and successes of these feminist protests? Where were the gaps, who is not represented and what does that mean? Also: How do we actually want to deal with right wing populism claiming social issues and inequality for themselves, how can we deal with their nationalist, familistic and racist answers from a feminist perspective? Using the example of different feminist policies and strategies, we want to invite you to a conversation and potentially also develop new perspectives in the struggle against the feminist backlash.
