GRECO, Melisa. Rights in question: the reconfiguration of equality policies in Argentina (2023-2025). Acad. (Asunción) [online]. 2026, vol.13, n.1, e1357.  Epub 30-Abr-2026. ISSN 2414-8938.  https://doi.org/10.30545/academo.2026.n1.1357.

This article aims to examine the impact of the political and discursive orientations adopted by the National Executive Branch in Argentina since December 2023 on gender equality policies. An exploratory-descriptive methodology with a mixed approach was employed, articulating documentary and discourse analysis with a survey of 100 key informants and semi-structured interviews. The main findings evidence a process of structural backsliding, manifested in the elimination of the Ministry of Women, Genders, and Diversity, the dismantling of territorial programs, and a critical budget cut in areas of sexual health and violence prevention. Likewise, it is identified that the “anti-woke” discourse operates as a legitimizing device for institutional de-articulation, generating perceptions of vulnerability and precariousness among women and LGBTIQ+ individuals. It is concluded that Argentina is undergoing a historical rupture in the state gender architecture that weakens effective access to rights; nevertheless, feminist resistance networks persist, attempting to sustain the achievements reached in a context of increasing social and political polarization.
