The national and international lobbying that has been achieved by the campaign “Don’t mess with my children”, has outlined anti-gender activism as a movement with a high capacity for organization and political participation; this leads us to question what factors explain their transnationalization. This research documents the process of transnational activism and identifies the participating organizations and activists during the campaign in Latin America between 2016 and 2020. The methodology is qualitative, based on interviews with activists and academics, and on an exhaustive review of network platforms. social and journalistic media. Based on a theoretical framework on transnational activism and its collective action processes, it is shown that the strengthening of transnational networks is explained by: the use of meeting spaces by peruvian activists; the support of local pro-life pro-family organizations in each country; and the sense of militancy formed thanks to the consolidation of a common political discourse. These factors contributed to the expansion of the peruvian campaign and, with it, the spread of anti-gender activism in the region. Finally, a transnational approach makes it possible to understand patterns of action when studying anti-gender mobilizations and campaigns that not only depend on local organizers, but also on a group of activists and NGOs that support themselves in increasingly visible networks in the international political arena.
