Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalisation that Lead to Terrorism

Women without Borders (WwB) participates in OSCE’s ‘Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalisation that Lead to Terrorism’ conference in Vienna, Austria. The conference convenes representatives of civil society organisations (CSOs), the OSCE, the United Nations, and interested Participating States during a ‘civil society day’. The purpose is to give CSOs and other local actors the opportunity to consider the issues on the agenda of the conference but primarily from the perspective of civil society and other community-level actors, and to put forward a series of recommendations for consideration by the OSCE Participating States, the OSCE, and CSOs for strengthening the role of civil society and communities in preventing and countering violent extremism and radicalisation that lead to terrorism (P/CVERLT) in the OSCE region. The participating CSOs come from across the OSCE region, with expertise on and experience in a range of P/CVERLT issues, e.g., youth empowerment, community-law enforcement dialogues, rehabilitation and reintegration (R/R), religious engagement, research, gender, and democracy promotion.
