About Book

This book provides an in-depth analysis of gender dynamics in violent extremism and counter-extremism strategies. Based on research conducted across Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, it presents insights from communities affected by radicalization. The authors introduce the concept of gendered radicalization, examining how pathways into violent extremism differ for men and women. The book compares jihadist and far-right extremism, critiques current counter-extremism policies, and presents recommendations for integrating gender-sensitive approaches in deradicalization and policy interventions.
