OVERVIEW OF THE WOMANSTATS PROJECT:
http://www.womanstats.org/WomanStatsOverview2015.pdf
The WomanStats
Project
is the most comprehensive compilation of information on the status of women in
the world. The Project facilitates understanding the linkage between the
situation of women and the security of nation-states; please see this overview. We comb the extant literature and
conduct expert interviews to find qualitative and quantitative information on
over 350 indicators of women's status in 175 countries. Our Database
expands daily, and access to it is free of charge; sign up for RSS
notifications when we add information on variables or countries
you are interested in.
The Project began
in 2001, and today includes thirteen principal investigators at nine
universities in four countries, as well as a team of up to twenty graduate and
undergraduate data extractors. Please learn more by clicking First Time Users and watching our Video
Tutorials. Or visit our Blog, where we discuss what we are finding,
