On 18 January 2022, ICCT Research Fellow Eviane Leidig was invited to be a guest on the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN) podcast to discuss the topic of 'Gender in P/CVE'. In this episode, Eviane discusses the gendered narratives that entice women into right-wing extremism (RWE), their roles in these extremist groups, and the consequences of the far-right activist content they produce once inside.
