Abstract
Abstract This paper analyses the political agenda behind the decriminalization of abortion in Portugal, its genealogy, agents, critical aspects and results. It highlights the role of women’s movements, the National Agency for Equality, and the role of political parties. Analyzing the 2015 backlash it highlights the risks to a feminist and women rights agenda brought by shifts to right-wing political forces. These risks seem to be particularly severe in a context of financial and societal crises, and under an austerity regime, in which economistic and conservative discourses are widely accepted.
期刊介绍：
Cadernos Pagu was founded in 1993 and since then has contributed to the consolidation of gender studies in Brazil. The journal was created in a period when gender studies gained certain academic legitimacy in the country, and it intended to further its visibility, diffusing and stimulating knowledge production in this field. Cadernos Pagu resulted from more than two years of intense readings, researches and debates among the members of the Center for Gender Studies Pagu, analyzing gender theories developments and stalemates. The first issue was completely written by Pagu"s research members, and their articles expressed those concerns. Throughout the second and third issues, the journal redefined its editorial policies, opening to contributions from Brazilian and foreign researchers.
