WiR redlist index: Activists

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed. This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources.

* This is a list under development of missing articles on women who are (or have been) notable for their activism, writing, art, political work and other areas as activists.
* While there may be some overlap with feminists, most of the women listed on this page are activists in areas other than feminism.
* Add Category:Women activists to any biography you create from this list.
* Additional "Crowd-Sourced" (CS) or "Wikidata-generated" (WD) redlists which may be within the scope of this subject can be accessed via clickable buttons at the top of this page.

Saudi Arabia

See 2018–2019 Saudi crackdown on feminists. Note the problems with finding independent sources on Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-related topics (details), and that controversial news articles are often taken down by the KSA government, but reposted elsewhere; controversial writers have their writings blocked. Useful sources include ALQST, which has an extensive bilingual database of people who have vanished, including some women and male women's rights activists, and the Saudiwoman blog. Inconsistent romanization makes it a bit more difficult to find non-Arabic language sources. And finally, please note that the Saudi government is engaging in a media campaign to improve its overseas image, especially on social media sites (probably including Wikipedia, they aren't stupid).
