Abstract
At present the world is gripped with fear of rising violent extremism. Although research shows that societies that respect women’s rights are less prone to extremism, women’s rights should not be securitized and should not be seen as an instrumental tool for countering extremism. Rather, women’s rights are an end in and of themselves.
