Abstract:
An attempt to show the role of women's rights in
the anti-immigrant agenda of European right-wing radicals has been undertaken
in the article. The author addresses to representative trends of modern right-wing
radicals in Europe. The concept of «Eurabia» and the theory of Great
Replacement are used as the theoretical substantiation of the anti-migrant
views of right-wing radicals. The main message of these theories is related to
the fact that the decline in the birth rate in Europe, combined with the
increase in migrant flows, will lead to the replacement of European politics
and lifestyle with Islamic values. Right-wing radicals emphasize that the
European way of life and values are fundamentally incompatible with the Muslim
way of life. Moreover, within the framework of the policy of modernizing their
image, right-wing radicals complement the concept of «traditional European
values», which they have always defended, with «liberal» values of women's
emancipation. Thus, right-wing radicals are forming the image of European enemy
- a patriarchal Muslim migrant. To recreate this portrait and to identify the
main features of the rhetoric of right-wing radicals regarding the threat of a
migrant invasion of female emancipation, the author addresses party programs,
political posters, interviews with party leaders, media materials and
right-wing radical news portals. Special attention is paid to the debate about
the right to wear the paranja - the main pressure point for the European right-wing
radical, for whom paranja is a kind of «banner» of Islam. The foregoing allows
concluding that, on the one hand, the use of the women's rights expands the
range of arguments of right-wing radicals against European migration policy,
and on the other hand, it allows radical right to establish themselves as
defenders of women's rights associated with human rights as the main European
value.
