Women's Studies
Highlighting resources that support women's studies at the UTSA Library. Researchers in this area may also want to look at more focused guides such as Women's History.
Highlight
Data on women's issues, especially topics like violence and trafficking, can be difficult to find. There are many obstacles in data collection that can add to these challenges. The "Make Every Woman and Girl Count" project through the United Nations provides many examples on why these issues exist, examples of how that can make data gathering difficult, and what might be done to improve in the future.
