Good Practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism

This toolkit is the outcome of two international expert workshops jointly held by the GCTF and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2014. It complements the ‘Ankara Memorandum on Good Practices for a Multi-Sectoral Approach to Countering Violent Extremism’, the ‘Good Practices on Community Engagement and Community-Oriented Policing as Tools to Counter Violent Extremism’, and is further expanded upon in the ‘Addendum to the GCTF Good Practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism, with a Focus on Mainstreaming Gender’. The practices addressed in this document relate to: general practices on women and gender in the CVE context; countering women and girls’ involvement in VE and terrorism; advancing women and girls’ roles in CVE; and women and girls as victims of VE and terrorism.
