Addendum to the GCTF Good Practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism, with a Focus on Mainstreaming Gender.

An update to the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) ‘Good Practices on Women and CVE’. It gives practical guidance, based upon new insights on gender-specific motivations and pathways of radicalization to violence and CVE responses that aim to counter women and girls’ recruitment specifically, while also addressing men and boys’ recruitment. It recommends: gender mainstreaming and alignment with WPS; M&E and data needs to be gender sensitive - including addressing gender in relation to men and boys; include women and girls as critical stakeholders - including working with WBOs; risk assessments and SPRR should be gender-sensitive in design and implementation.
