Remarks by Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women, on towards the successful implementation of the women, peace and security agenda: moving from commitments to accomplishments in preparation for the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of SC resolution 1325 (2000) during the 8649th meeting of the Security Council.
In her address to the Council, the Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, highlighted the results of a research project conducted by Monash University in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Libya, and the Philippines.
The study, she said, found that “hostile sexist attitudes towards women were the factors most strongly associated with support for violent extremism, far more than age, degree of religiosity, level of education, or employment.”
This, Mlambo-Ngcuka said, “is a significant finding, especially because the vast majority of studies on terrorism ignore gender.”
