520 _aIn two research projects with UN Women in Asia and North Africa, the Monash Gender, Peace and Security Centre has addressed the lack of empirical gender analysis of violent extremism. The findings of that research produced in four countries constitute the most significant global research on this subject to date. In all four countries, quantitative survey research adopted the same framework, methods and instruments was undertaken. Our research questions were: 1. How and why are societal gender identities and relations drivers of violent extremism, both enabling and countering ideological fundamentalism and political violence? 2. How are constructions of masculinity and femininity used by violent extremist groups to recruit and mobilise men and women? The survey research examined the extent to which societal gender identities and relations are drivers of violent extremism and how these differed for men and women. Questions related to individual’s social media use, religiosity, masculinity, sexism, and attitudes and behaviours regarding violence against women. (From the paper). Record #7945
