The rise of the anti-gender movement alongside the ascendance of right-wing populism presents a pressing global concern. This thesis delves into the discursive practices of right-wing populist parties in Scandinavia, aiming to elucidate their framings of gender, family, and child safety, and to ascertain any correlation with the global anti-gender movement. Through a comprehensive literature review, previous studies were categorised into three main areas: the nexus between right-wing populism and the anti-gender movement, anti-gender discourse analysis, and discursive strategies of right-wing populist parties. Grounded in constructivism, the study employed framing theory and critical frame analysis as methodological frameworks. Analysis of Scandinavian right-wing populist parties revealed varying framings, with correlations between the anti-gender movement and certain parties' discourses. While the Norwegian Progress Party showed no clear correlation, the Swedish Democrats showed alignment with two anti-gender frames, and the Danish People’s Party with all three. These findings underscore the need for further research in this understudied field, offering insights crucial for addressing the intertwined dynamics of right-wing populism and the anti-gender movement in Scandinavia and beyond.
