Strengthening women’s roles in criminal justice as well as law enforcement is an essential element in long-term efforts to prevent terrorism and violent extremism. The joint UNODC-EU side event will highlight the efforts made at the international, regional and national levels to promote women as an essential actor in successfully building peace efforts, preventing violent extremism and responding to terrorism in the African context. The event will further highlight good practices implemented at the global, regional and national levels aimed at providing guidance to strengthen the role of women in national counter-terrorism institutions and regional mechanisms as well as in mainstreaming gender considerations into criminal justice responses to terrorism.
