Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism in Pakistan: Why Policewomen Must Have a Role - Institute for Inclusive Security
Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies struggle to combat militant violence that contributes to political, economic, and social instability. To improve the operational effectiveness of Pakistani forces, the government of Pakistan and international donors must prioritize the recruitment, retention, and professionalization of women in the police. This policy brief summarizes research conducted in Pakistan in October 2013 and February 2014 by Inclusive Security that documents why and how increasing the number and expertise of women in the police force would improve security and counter violent extremism.
