Resumo:
This research was carried out in the Postgraduate Program in Interdisciplinary Studies on
Gender, Women and Feminism, in the research line Gender, Alterity(ies) and Inequalities, and
sought to understand how anti-gender offensives have impacted Brazilian educational policy
and the inclusion of debates on gender and sexuality in educatioN. The research sought to
contextualize the origin of anti-gender offensives and the production and dissemination of the
Gender Ideology discourse in Brazil; to investigate the impacts of the anti-gender agenda in
restricting discussions on gender and sexuality at school; to identify transnational similarities
and differences in anti-gender offensives in Brazil based on the French case; and to
understand how the disputes promoted around the notion of gender ideology have potentiated
and authorized gender violence and LGBTphobia, and curtailed the rights of women and
LGBT+ people. As a methodological resource, I work with the analytical perspective of
ethno-research, in a process that involves immersion, inquiry, saturation, reduction, filtering
and interpretation for understanding. The investigative procedure was carried out by mapping
reactions to the Brasil Sem Homofobia (Brazil Without Homophobia) program, the Gender
and Sexuality at School course, and the Escola Sem Homofobia (School Without
Homophobia) program, government initiatives to promote gender and sexuality diversity;
identifying the discourses on the incorporation of gender and sexuality issues into the
National Education Plan and the National Common Curricular Base based on the actions of
the School Without a Party Movement; and finally, analyzing the discourses and proposals for
anti-gender bills available in the Speeches and Shorthand Notes Database and the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies Bills and Other Proposals Database. In this thesis, we found that the
main interference operated by neoconservative movements in educational policies took place
in the National Congress, with a strong presence of neo-Pentecostal parliamentarians,
articulated via the Evangelical Parliamentary Front. The study indicates that the anti-gender
offensive in Brazil, in addition to preventing Brazilian educational policy from including
mentions and/or programs that encourage the promotion of respect for sexual and gender
diversity, has produced and accentuated violence.
