Description:

This phase II project aims to build on the Supporting Women’s Civil Society Organization’s in the Prevention of Violent Extremism program (April 2023 to March 2025) that successfully empowered 30 women-led civil society organizations (CSOs) in the Israr Coalition. It seeks to engage in prevention of violent extremism (PVE) efforts by deepening their capacity to understand and respond to the complex risks and impacts of radicalization to violent extremism. Phase II aims to increase its reach from 30 to 46 women-led CSOs and address additional challenges faced by the Israr Coalition in responding to the risks and needs of women and girls vulnerable to or impacted by involvement in violent extremism. The Global Center seeks to support the Israr Coalition to refine and expand training on gender and PVE across its full membership, equip Coalition members to navigate the challenges and risks associated with delivering training in gender and PVE in community settings, and facilitate avenues of cooperation between government and women-led CSOs on PVE, with an emphasis on trust building and incremental steps that reflect the sensitivity of such efforts in the Moroccan context.
