Viktor Orbán’s Affairs with Women - The Illiberal Playbook: Gender, Power, and Control

There is a recently published book - Viktor Orbán’s Affairs with Women (The Illiberal Playbook: Gender, Power, and Control) which offers a popular but comprehensive analysis of Viktor Orbán’s illiberal policies on human and gender rights. It provides an accessible introduction to how the illiberal gender playbook impacts women, presenting how the government has co-opted and eroded national and international anti-discrimination and equality provisions, thereby creating an alternative to liberal values. Moreover, the book analyzes the reasons behind the decision of women to cast their votes in favor of an illiberal government that discriminates against and impoverishes them. As the Orbán government’s gender policies gain international attention, this book serves as a cautionary tale for those concerned about human rights worldwide.
