This paper explores the Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP), a right-wing political-religious organization that originated in Brazil and is present in 24 countries, highlighting its rhetoric and transnational activities, particularly on issues related to sexual and productive questions. TFP is analyzed as part of a larger network of Christian right-wing groups that, since the 1980s, have organized around moral agendas and opposition to what they refer to as "cultural Marxism" and "gender ideology." The research adopts a qualitative methodology, with an emphasis on document and literature analysis of TFP publications, as well as the observation of their political activities both in Brazil and Europe. The study reveals the impact of TFP on contemporary moral politics, highlighting its ability to adapt to the new right-wing movements around the world, and the ways in which the organization has influenced public and social policies through strategic alliances with other conservative organizations.
