| Summary: | The term ‘gender ideology’ has become a conceptual and political tool used by various religious and secular actors who defend a legal system embedded in a sexual universal morality. Although the use of the term began within the Catholic sphere, it currently characterizes the politics of different countries that are facing a wave of neoconservative activism. The article analyzes the expansion and uses of this term by considering two main aspects: first, an analysis of its emergence as a strategy by the Vatican to combat the impact of Sexual and Reproductive Rights (SRR) on Universal Human Rights; second, a presentation of the appropriations and uses of the fight against gender ideology as part of a neoconservative movement in Latin America. Le terme « idéologie de genre » est devenu un outil conceptuel et politique utilisé par divers acteurs religieux et laïques qui défendent un système juridique ancré dans une morale sexuelle universelle. Bien que l’utilisation de ce terme a commencé dans la sphère catholique, il caractérise actuellement la politique de différents pays qui font face à une vague d’activisme néoconservateur. L’article analyse l’expansion et les utilisations de ce terme en considérant deux aspects principaux : premièrement, une analyse de son émergence comme stratégie du Vatican pour combattre l’impact des droits sexuels et reproductifs sur les droits humains universels ; deuxièmement, une présentation des appropriations et des utilisations de la lutte contre l’idéologie de genre dans le cadre d’un mouvement néoconservateur en Amérique latine. |
