Abstract

Little attention has been paid to the motivations that lead women to join jihadist terrorist groups. This research intends to contribute to shed light on the phenomenon carrying out a comparison between the motivations that have led women to join jihadist groups in Chechnya and Iraq and those from the West who have done it to Al Qaeda and to Daesh. The study also focuses on classical reference about woman and jihad and the evolution of the message that terrorist organizations transmit about the role women should have.
