Quarterly Research Review: Mainstreaming Gender in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism

This Quarterly Research Review (QRR) summarises the current state of research in relation to the topic of setting policies and programmes to ensure that gender becomes mainstreamed in the counter-terrorism (CT) and preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) agenda. The aim of this review is to provide policymakers with a compilation of the most relevant publications and their key messages concerning the definition and implementation of gender mainstreaming strategies, how they can help in assessing the threat and structuring the response, and the importance of empowering women through these strategies.
