Abstract

Not everyone in North Macedonia was surprised by the emergence and success of anti-gender mobilizations, accompanied by their captivating and provocative tropes, narratives, and figures (Kuhar & Paternotte, 2017 ). Those immersed in the study, advocacy, and quotidian challenges related to the histories of gender and sexual inequality anticipated such developments, seeing anti-gender mobilization in North Macedonia as a manifestation of the enduring and deep-seated gender inequality, homophobia, and transphobia, with the new twist, new frameworks, strategies, and actors who put them into practice.
