First, we present the key objectives of the first work strandof the FIERCE project and the working definitions of anti-gender and anti-feminist actors that we usedin our research. We then summarize the key findings of a critical analysis of the existing literature onanti-gender and anti-feminist movements in the eight countries. This is followed by the individualnational reports. Finally, the methodological manual we used to prepare this report is included. Inaccordance with this manual, the national reports are organized in several sections covering thefollowing topics:• the history of the emergence of anti-gender and anti-feminist movements in each country;• the key actors of the movement and their allies,• themes and agendas;• the issues the movement is addressing;• its strategies and repertoires of actions;• the key arguments of anti-gender and anti-feminist actors;• their transnational links;• the empirical and theoretical explanations to date for the rise and success of anti-gender andanti-feminist movements.The national reports also include a graphic time-line of key moments in the development of the antigender movement in each country, including its major successes and failures, as well as keyoppositional events/actions on the part of feminists, LGBTQ+, and similar actors. At the end of thereport, we have also added a short analysis of anti-gender and anti-feminist activities at Europeanlevel.
