In the area of organized right-wing groupings, cliques and camaraderie, the current participation of women and girls is 30%. Statistically there is a participation of women and girls to violence by right-wing extremist motivation. Since 1980 it was less than 5%. For a time there was an increase of up to 10%. The percentage of women in right-wing parties also increased in recent years. In the mid-90s, the proportion of women was averaged 14%, while in 2001 almost 20% of female members of extreme right parties were women. (Grumke/Wagner 2002:87 ff).
