Some of the interesting work being done on countering violent extremism or countering terrorism involves work at the grassroots level and the work that women's organizations are doing to engage communities and young men. They are often the ones doing the counter-narratives and doing the nitty-gritty work of discussion, even visiting young men who they hear are in danger of being radicalized.
They face three different problems. One is that they don't have the funding to do their work. Second, they are often not listened to by local authorities. We have numerous examples from Afghanistan where women's organizations warned authorities about radicalization that was happening. They weren't listened to, and then buses were attacked or arms were sold. Third, they often experience repression from their own governments when they're trying to do some of this work.
I would focus attention on the really important grassroots work that women's organizations are doing on countering terrorism.
