Women without Borders (WwB) Founder and Executive Director Dr. Edit Schlaffer organises and leads ‘The Role of Families and Communities in Prevention and Rehabilitation: Gender-Sensitive Approaches as Sustainable and Innovative Strategies’ side event at the 2018 OSCE-wide Counterterrorism Conference in Rome. The two-day conference allows for discussion on good practices on addressing current challenges and issues and developing effective policy to prevent VERLT and counterterrorism in full compliance with human rights, with a special focus on addressing new threats posed by returning/relocating FTFs and their affiliates. This conference aims to foster regional and international co-operation on these matters.
