The topic of gender in P/CVE has been discussed quite extensively in the field outside of the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN), and there are more and more projects and practices that are adopting gender specific approaches in the EU. RAN Youth, Families and Communities (RAN YF&C) has further built on this knowledge in its meeting on the role of gender in extremism and P/CVE. It seems that there are different ways in which men and women play a role in extremist groups. Furthermore, there are differences in the role that gender plays in different types of extremism, for example with regard to gender (in)equality within FRE groups. Gender does seem to play a role in certain aspects of P/CVE work as well, and gender-sensitive approaches could therefore help in certain (but not all) cases. The same goes for practitioners themselves: the gender of the P/CVE professional may play a role in some cases or activities but does not need to in others.
This ex post paper addressеs the main outcomes. It is written for practitioners who encounter the influence of gender on their daily P/CVE activities and experts active on this topic.
