Gender References In Security Council Counter-Terrorism

CTED’s Trend Tracker shows increased attention to gender issues in a counter-terrorism context across three indicators:

  1. A growing number of gender references in Security Council counter-terrorism resolutions on issues such as prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration of returning foreign terrorist fighters; countering terrorist narratives; and links between terrorism, trafficking in persons and conflict-related sexual violence;
  2.  A significant increase in CTED’s recommendations to Member States on gender-sensitive approaches in counter-terrorism and CVE, including recommendations for technical assistance delivery; and
  3.  An exponential growth in research on gender and counter-terrorism, which contributes to building a stronger evidence base for gender-sensitive policies and programming.
