It’s hard to draw a line between the religious and the political in the story of “anti-gender” movements. This episode traces how faith became infrastructure: from Vatican diplomacy to populist slogans, from UN conventions to national parliaments.
Featuring voices from across Europe, Faith as Strategy explores how religious institutions and moral networks shaped the backlash against gender equality, how their messages travel, and what makes them resonate in moments of crisis.
With: Marianna Muravyeva, Andrea Pető, Šárka Kolmašová, Roman Kuhar, Magdalena Grabowska, Adriana Zaharijević, Ionela Băluță, Tanja Vučković-Juroš, Annette Henninger, and Kath Browne.
