Abstract

ABSTRACT Ukrainian men and women en masse participated in the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity. Drawing on these cases of mass mobilization, the study examines gender differences in protest participation in a polity with fragile democratic institutions. Based on data from nationally representative surveys, the analysis demonstrates differences in the effects of some socioeconomic and attitudinal characteristics on protest behavior. The results also suggest that the gendered impact of some variables diminishes with an increase in gender equality in society. This research expands our understanding of the relationship between gender and protest engagement in Eastern Europe.
