Insidious and underappreciated? The impact of gender-based violence on national security

What is the link between gender and extremism? What makes it a national security issue?

Can domestic violence act as a ‘comorbidity’ for extremism and radicalisation?

Dr Elise Stephenson is the Deputy Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at ANU and Fellow at the ANU National Security College (NSC).

Pascal Taplin is an anthropologist and PhD candidate at NSC.

Associate Professor Danielle-Ireland Piper is Academic Director at NSC.
