Motivations for Women's Involvement in Terrorism

There are a number of factors that can motivate women to join terrorist organizations. These include:

• Personal relationships: Some women join terrorist organizations because they are in a relationship with a terrorist. They may be drawn to the excitement and danger of the lifestyle or they may feel like they have no other choice.

Recruitment Strategies for Women

Terrorist organizations use a variety of strategies to recruit women. These strategies include:

• Online propaganda: Terrorist organizations often use online propaganda to recruit women. This propaganda can be found on social media, websites, and other online platforms.
