Data File

Cases: 640
Variables: 44
Weight Variable: None

Data Collection

2011

Original Survey (Instrument)

Religious Human Rights NGOs

Funded By

The John Templeton Foundation

Collection Procedures

Most of the information about the organizations was coded from each organization's website rather than from the Human Rights Internet. For those cases that did not have websites, information was coded from organizational profiles within the HRI directory, which contain brief descriptions of each organizations' mission, activities, etc.

Sampling Procedures

The cases in this dataset are human rights organizations and programs that were initially identified using the "organizations database" by the Human Rights Internet (HRI). It contains only those organizations that were among those classified by HRI as "religious oriented" (n=826).

Principal Investigators

Evelyn Bush, Associate Professor of Sociology (at Rose Hill), Fordham University

Graduate Assistants:
YuYu Fan
Dominique Viola
