The covid-19 pandemic is undoubtedly a milestone. At the international level, it exposed an evident political-ideological polarization, which in Latin America overlapped with the radicalization of right-wing positions. In this process, clearly anti-democratic signs are observed, as well as a frank revaluation of the dictatorship and its legacies both in terms of policies and actors. Clear examples of this are Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil or Jeanine Añez in Bolivia. The aiml is to address the relationship between women, rights and democracy in Latin America in the 1989-2022 cycle. In the first place, to locate the increase in the political participation of women in that period. Second, to point out the trajectories and gender agendas of women on the right: first ladies and candidates for the presidency and vice presidency in recent years of turning to the right. Third, to point out particular and overall characteristics that can provide elements of judgment to complicate the analysis of cases for Latin America.
