SOCIAL SCIENCES

Social sciences examine human behavior, social structures, and interactions in various settings. Fields such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and economics study social relationships, cultural norms, and institutions. By using different research methods, social scientists seek to understand community dynamics, the effects of policies, and factors driving social change. This field is important for tackling current issues, guiding public discussions, and developing strategies for social progress and innovation.

By Melissa Johnston with Sara Meger

“Linkages between Violent Misogyny and Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism” (VERLT) provides concrete recommendations for further research and policy development, aiming to enhance gender-responsive approaches to preventing and countering VERLT in the OSCE area.

The policy brief findings and recommendations, and the gaps and existing good practices in addressing violent misogyny in P/CVERLT policy were discussed by a panel of government, civil society and academic experts.

Furthermore, in a small roundtable held after the launch, technical experts identified concrete recommendations for the OSCE and its participating States on how to mitigate risks related to violent misogyny in VERLT while applying human rights compliant and “Do No Harm” –approaches.
