| Sumario: | The article focuses on the challenges posed by populist rhetoric, particularly influenced by U.S. political narratives, to preventive women’s health services in Europe, such as cervical cancer vaccination and screening programs. It highlights how populist obstruction delays legislation, reduces funding, and delegitimizes health initiatives, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups including migrants and ethnic minorities.

These strategies aim to frame preventive care as a universal public health priority, protecting equity and access amid rising ideological opposition.
