About

The OSCE Secretariat's Gender Section and Transnational Threats Department/Action against Terrorism Unit, jointly with the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), will hold a second expert roundtable on gender and countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism (VERLT). This will focus on the role of women and human rights compliant strategies to empower women to successfully counter VERLT.

The event will discuss good practices and lessons learnt in terms of women's initiatives against VERLT. It will also address potential constraints from a human rights and gender perspective faced by women in standing up against VERLT, and learn from women's engagement against other forms of violence.
