The association for womens' rights in development (AWID) has compiled a useful reference tool for women human rights
defenders.The compilation lists research materials dealing with the security and
protection of defenders, resources that women activists can consult
concerning their wellbeing and self-care, manuals dealing with how to
document and monitor violations of women's rights, as well as manuals on
the rights and mechanisms available to women human rights defenders at
risk. The list also references materials that address specific themes
particularly relevant to women defenders, such as sexual orientation,
religious fundamentalisms and conflict.
