openDemocracy’s Tracking the Backlash investigative project is following the networks, strategies, finances and impacts of organised movements against women’s and LGBTIQ rights around the world.
Our recent stories have revealed, for example, that a group of US Christian right organisations linked to the Trump administration have spent millions of dollars of ‘dark money’ promoting their agendas in Europe.
Our work has had outsized impact – triggering action from lawmakers and social platforms – and is frequently cited in leading international media, including CNN, Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle, and the Guardian.
