Professor Samina Yasmeen, Director at the Centre for Muslim States and Societies, gives an i
nterview
to Australian Institute for International Affairs on the role of women in extremist jihad.
The interview explored questions including:
- What prompts a young, educated woman brought up in the West to run away to join a fundamentalist society where the role of women is highly circumscribed?
- Do these women have agency? What are the push and pull factors driving them to engage in violent activities in the name of jihad?
