Globalizing Anti-Feminism: A Phenomenology of Transnational Networks of Islamic Women Organizations

Descripción del proyecto

El discurso antifeminista en las organizaciones de mujeres islámicas

El antifeminismo abunda en los países islámicos. El proyecto GlAntiFem, financiado con fondos europeos, se propone estudiar las organizaciones mundiales de mujeres islámicas y el movimiento transnacional emergente que representan. Estas organizaciones comparten su oposición al feminismo y a la proactividad global que influyen en las mujeres y contribuyen a empoderarlas fuera de las sociedades islámicas. Ahora que países de todo el mundo se esfuerzan por alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible fijados por las Naciones Unidas para 2030, será esencial examinar su contradiscurso y su relación con los contextos locales para comprender tanto el modo que los antifeministas pueden influir en los esfuerzos por alcanzar tales objetivos como el modo en que percibe esos objetivos gran parte de la sociedad en sus países.

Objetivo

This project seeks to study global Islamic women organizations and the emerging transnational movement they represent. These organizations are characterized by an opposition against what they perceive as feminism and westernization and have a global pro-activeness that seek to produce emancipatory projects for women, beyond Islamicate societies. - How can we understand the phenomenon of transnational networks of Islamic women groups and organizations and their anti-feminist discourse? By studying their historical genealogy and contemporary discourse and praxis, this project will explore a) the intimate relationship that their anti-feminist paradigm has with their feminist counterparts, marked by proximity, ambiguity and opposition, b) the emancipatory project that this paradigm espouses on gender issues, c) the institutionalization processes of anti-feminist organizations and their transnational networks and d) the specific activities that these organizations engage in, in attempting to impact UN and EU initiatives both within the UN system and locally in their own societies, using the cases of UN's Sustainable Goals. Based on a wide range of material consisting of fieldwork, literature produced by women affiliated with anti-feminist organizations, interviews with these women and relevant experts in the UN, as well as online material, this project takes a holistic and interdisciplinary and phenomenological approach that take into account anti-feminists' lived experiences shaped by their social, political, economic and religious realities. As countries worldwide seek to fulfil the UN Sustainability Goals by 2030, examining their counter-discourse and how it relates to their local contexts will be vital to understand both how anti-feminists can potentially affect the efforts towards reaching these goals and how these goals are received by an important segment of the society in their countries.
