“It was women who were discussing IS and the requirement of the men around them. It wasn’t the men that spoke about this. So it was fascinating looking at the development of women’s support networks countering terrorist recruitment.” – Gina Vale, PhD Candidate at KCL War Studies.
At a recent coffee conversation, we spoke to Gina Vale, PhD Candidate at KCL War Studies, about her work considering terrorism and extremism from a gender perspective, women’s overlooked roles and responding to radicalisation. Yasmina O’Sullivan chairs the discussion.
