This compilation of resources for women human rights defenders at risk is the result of a research endeavor launched by the Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) in collaboration with the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition, in particular with its working group on urgent responses. The aim of the compilation is to provide women human rights defenders with a reference tool of existing resources that may be useful to their work and to those facing risks.

The compilation lists existing research materials dealing with the safety, 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 and how to conduct trial observation, as well as manuals on the rights and mechanisms available to women human rights defenders at risk.
