Abstract: In this chapter, we offer a framework for understanding women-led anti-corruption mobilization. By taking key insights from the literature on protest and the work on corruption and electoral accountability, we first develop a framework for understanding the conditions that constrain or enable the emergence of anti-corruption protests. We take this as a launching path for investigating the relationship among gender, corruption, and protest. We argue that the stages from corruption to protest are greater and women face important challenges if they want to mobilize against political malfeasance. More specifically, we highlight the mechanisms that might partly explain the sparse evidence on women-led anti-corruption demonstrations. We offer some descriptive data analysis from Latin America and briefly discuss a wave of women-led protests against corruption in the judiciary. We conclude by providing some paths for future research.
