DescriptionThis study investigates the motivations behind women's decisions to deradicalize or disengage from the Islamic State (IS) in Spain, an area of research that remains underexplored. Drawing on interviews with incarcerated women linked to IS, as well as input from prison officials, psychologists, and educators, the study identifies key factors influencing these decisions. Findings reveal that disengagement often followed experiences of disenchantment, the pursuit of new personal goals, or a sense of acceptance and integration into new social networks. The research highlights the importance of these factors in fostering cognitive and behavioral shifts away from extremist ideologies.Related topicEthics and gender sensitivityLinkRead the document
