New anti-gender rights:

the case of the Young Front in Argentina

Abstract

In the current neoliberal context of global political radicalization, the article proposes an exploration of the new right’s rise through the case of the "Frente Joven" (FJ), a civil association originating in Argentina and currently regional in scope. Born more than a decade ago in the heat of the legislative debates on equal marriage and on the reform of the Civil and Commercial Code, in the last five years the FJ was growing and gaining prominence among the "Pro-life" sectors who participated in the legislative commissions and in the public debate on the sanction of the IVE in our country. Through a tour and tracking across its networks, yearbooks, reports and interventions, the article investigates the different programs, objectives and affects that the FJ proposes and mobilizes, and through which it deploys its anti-gender activism enrolled in a global neoconservative advanced.
