Study title

This dataset is part of the Push*Back*Lash project which investigates the contestation of gender equality issues at the elite and citizen levels in Europe. The data were collected as part of the Work Package 3 with the aim to analyse the dynamics of political attention toward gender and sexuality issues across space, time, and institutional venues. Five types of documents were coded when available for the countries: (1) Programmes for the national elections that took place between 2010 and 2022; (2) Annual cabinet statements; (3) Parliamentary questions asked orally to the government or the prime minister (Germany: minor and major interpellations); (4) Legislative acts and constitutional amendments that were adopted, revised, or repealed between; (5)Constitutional court decisions that contained an abstract constitutional review The data were content-coded manually using a hierarchical classification system with 40 policy issues related to gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+, and the family and divided into subcategories. Additional variables were coded, see codebook for the full list. The project relied on the coding of the party manifestos conducted by the Manifesto Project (Manifesto Corpus version 2024-1)
