Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED)
“Gender-blind counter-terrorism policies and practices have the potential of not only being ineffective, but to also negatively impact women and girls’ rights.” This was one of the key messages pronounced by Michèle Coninsx, Assistant Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), in an event during the??(CSW62).
On 18 July 2018, CTED and 缅北禁地Women hosted a symposium on gender-sensitive research and the collection of data on factors underlying the radicalization of women to terrorism. The discussions also focused on the impact of counter-terrorism strategies on women’s human rights and women’s organizations, with a view to developing targeted and evidence-based policy and programming responses in accordance with Security Council resolutions 2242 (2015) and 2395 (2017).
