Women, Countering Violent Extremism 

The inclusion of women and girls and gender mainstreaming are often overlooked in efforts to counter violent extremism, despite the participation of women and girls in violent extremism and terrorism, as well as their roles in prevention. This non-binding good practices document focuses on women and gender aspects in the countering violent extremism (CVE) context.1 It was produced on the basis of two international expert workshops jointly held by the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE),2 which brought together CVE experts and practitioners from GCTF members and non-members on 13-14 May 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey, and on 21-22 October 2014 in Vienna, Austria. This document complements the Ankara Memorandum on Good Practices for a Multi-Sectoral Approach to Countering Violent Extremism and the Good Practices on Community Engagement and Community-Oriented Policing as Tools to Counter Violent Extremism.
