‘Violent Extremism’, Gender and Human Rights

‘Violent Extremism’, Gender and Human Rights

Hosted by University of Basel

This conference invites critical dialogue on the security measures which seek to address violence deemed ‘violent extremism’ and ‘terrorism,’ particularly as enacted under the security architecture known as ‘Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism’ (P/CVE). Throughout the conference, a variety of experts will offer inputs on the phenomenon of P/CVE, the impact of the pandemic on both security and the rise of violent extremist ideologies, and the importance of intersectional approaches to the development and enactment of violence prevention.
