<p>This
project begins from the premise that women can be powerful partners in fighting
violent extremism. It investigates the impact that women’s economic empowerment
and their leadership and participation in local communities can have on social
cohesion and efforts to challenge extremist ideology and related violence. It also
seeks to gain a better understanding of the perceptions of the causes of
violent extremism, ways in which to best prevent and counter its threat, and
the extent to which individuals see themselves and their communities as having
a role in preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE).</p>
