New report reveals Trump's strategy for a new global order aimed at redefining sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender equality and human rights

As the Trump Administration embarks on its second term, its rapid and sweeping policy shifts—both anticipated and unforeseen—are redefining the global landscape of gender equality, human rights, and democracy. The scale and speed of these transformations demand urgent attention and strategic response. From the reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule to the dismantling of USAID, the changes we are witnessing are not just reshaping policies but constructing a new global order. However, to build this new reality, the previous order must first be dismantled. There are many hints as to what this future course could look like.

This publication, authored by our Executive Director Neil Datta, provides a crucial framework to understand the Trump Administration’s approach, breaking it down into three phases: destruction, consolidation, and creation. Understanding this will help us navigate the maelstrom of disruptive actions designed to blind us to their long-term goals.
