Recommendations for Reducing Violent Extremism and Terrorism in Pakistan
A delegation of four women from Pakistan traveled to Washington, DC, to deliver recommendations on reducing violent extremism and terrorism in Pakistan. Their recommendations aim to increase the recruitment, retention, and professionalization of women in Pakistan’s police forces; strengthen women’s inclusion in mechanisms setting Pakistan’s strategic priorities, such as the National Internal Security Policy (NISP), the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA), and all negotiations to end violent extremism; and expand US support for, and promotion of, indigenous, women-led initiatives in Pakistan that aim to counter violent extremism.
