Authoritarian governments in Latin America have been influencing women's health policies for the past two decades due to democratic backsliding and rising conservative forces. Politicians use the "gender agenda" to justify authoritarian restructuring of the state. This leads to the erosion of women's health policies, which undermines women's rights and deepens their structural vulnerability. These changes normalize the redefinition of women's social roles according to exclusionary norms. Policies related to sexual and reproductive health are particularly vulnerable under authoritarian governments. To eliminate them, strategies such as restructuring budget policy, cutting spending, reducing responsibility, and framing women's rights as a threat to social order and the traditional family are used. Broader regional trends and response strategies need to be examined for better understanding.
