Women in Resistance (WiRe)

The Women in Resistance (WiRe) Dataset catalogues women’s participation in 338 maximalist resistance campaigns, meaning campaigns that call for the toppling of an oppressive government or for territorial self-determination. The dataset identifies both nonviolent and violent maximalist campaigns in every country in the world from 1945 to 2014, providing a comprehensive and systematic look at various dimensions of women's participation in both types of campaigns.

The WiRe dataset and supporting materials can be found on the project’s Harvard Dataverse page.
