- Description
- Violent extremism has a gender dimension that produces disproportionate effects on women. It forms a leading challenge to realizing sustainable peace globally. This research volume focuses on the relation between gender identity and violent extremism in South and South-East Asia. The first chapter analyzes militarized masculinities in the southern Philippines to illustrate how notions of masculinity and femininity operate in local settings and how they are linked to notions of violence. The second chapter examines how gender identities are portrayed in the myths and stories of violent extremist groups from Indonesia and the Philippines. In the third contribution, the author explores the relationship between violent extremism and domestic violence against women, through interviews with communities in rural Bangladesh. The final chapter examines the relationship between gender inequality, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and the presence of terrorist groups.
