The European Parliamentary Forum on Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF) is thrilled to invite you to the presentation of our new report on anti-gender "The Next Wave", co-hosted by MEPs Elżbieta Łukacijewska (EPP, Poland), Alexandra Geese (Greens/EFA, Germany), Lucia Yar (Slovakia, Renew Europe), and Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus (S&D, Poland).

🕓  Time: 16:00–18:00 CEST
📍  Location: European Parliament, Brussels (SPAAK 7C50)

EPF Executive Director Neil Datta will present groundbreaking insights from the report into how the anti-gender movement in Europe has evolved over the past five years. The presentation will shed light on funding mechanisms, structural transformations and new strategic shifts. David Paternotte, Professor of sociology and gender studies at Université libre de Bruxelles, will provide an academic perspective on the findings of the Next Wave as one of the most widely cited researchers in this field. 

"The Next Wave" is EPF’s most comprehensive report to date, building on our previous work exposing anti-gender and religious extremist networks that threaten reproductive rights and gender equality across Europe.

We hope you will join us for this important event, whether in person or online.
