MARACCI, João Gabriel  y  PRADO, Marco Aurelio Maximo. Anti-Gender Offensives and the Purification of Human Rights as a State Policy in Brazil. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.spe, pp.1372-1392.  Epub 27-Mayo-2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2022.71643.

This article analyzes the insertion of anti-gender offensives as State policies. Starting with a diffuse propagation by different actors, they now consist as priority actions of the Executive Power, especially with regard to the “Ministério da Mulher, da Família e dos Direitos Humanos”. In order to evaluate this modification, we start with a mapping of the relations between this Ministry and anti-gender policies during the four years of Jair Bolsonaro’s government. Then, we analyze a specific case, concerning the changes carried out in the “Ouvidoria Nacional dos Direitos Humanos”, an institution that nowadays is also intended to restrict public agents relating to gender and sexuality issues, with the use of terms such as “gender ideology” and “institutional violence”. Finally, we discuss the argument of the nationalization of anti-gender campaigns in Brazil, considering that we already live under an anti-gender State, in which suppression, rejection and assimilation are the main policies with respect to sexual and gender diversity.
