The human cost of terrorism has been felt in every corner of the globe with dire consequences. However, actions by states to counter-terrorism and to prevent violent extremism leading to terrorism at times themselves violate fundamental human rights, which may breed distrust of society towards the state and have been recognized as a condition conducive to the spread of terrorism.
Women activists and civil society leaders report being caught between the actions of violent extremist and terrorist groups, which often target women’s rights and physical integrity, and state responses to terrorism, which carry risks of instrumentalizing women’s organizations, potentially compromising their reputation and safety and negatively impacting women’s human rights. New laws adopted in response to COVID-19 are further restricting the spaces and activities of civil society which in turn affects women’s activism.
