Abstract
The pivotal role of women in countering terrorism is both undervalued and
underexplored. Today, terrorism and violent extremism come in diverse forms. In the struggle to address this dynamic and complex issue, the need for a preventive approach is vital, and women, and women’s rights, can offer a significant contribution to preventative measures. To this end, the chapters in this report take innovative approaches to the exploration of the transformative nature of integrating a gender dimension into States’ legislative and policy frameworks that address terrorism
