Message by Mr. Vladimir Voronkov, Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism on the occasion of the 2024 International Women’s Day

Achieving gender equality remains integral to the viability and success of countering terrorism around the world. The full, equal, meaningful, and safe participation of women is therefore essential to countering terrorism and preventing violent extremism (CT/PCVE), as part of implementing gender-responsive and human rights-based approaches throughout the design, implementation and evaluation of CT/PCVE programmes and policies.

The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) recognizes how both terrorist acts and counter-terrorism measures impact women and girls and men and boys differently, and is committed to supporting the capacities of women and girls, and amplifying their voices.
