| dc.description.abstract | Women have been involved in political violence for more than a century, but the academic focus on women terrorists is relatively recent dated. As terrorism is transforming, the role of women is evolving from secular to Islamic religious settings. The Western Balkans is a region that is particularly vulnerable to the appearance of the female terrorist. The number of women from the Western Balkans involved in terrorist activity and leaving from this region to “Islamic State”- held territory is growing, which makes the phenomenon of female terrorists become more visible in media coverage, scholarly work, and counterterrorism official activity. The paper explores the phenomenon of women from the Western Balkans that are involved in terroristic activities in the “Islamic State”. The first part of the paper explores the motivation of women from the Western Balkans to support and participate in terrorism. The second part of the paper looks at the ways of their recruitment. The third part analyzes the different roles that women play in terrorist organizations. The last segment of the work focuses on the response of the state and society to this security threat through legislation and the process of de-radicalization. | |
