Women’s radicalization is an underexplored aspect of terrorism and political violence in Pakistan. Current approaches tend to focus on male militancy or focus exclusively on the victimization of women. The interplay between women’s agency and the gendered structures that shape decision-making is often overlooked. The article uses the lens of Feminist Security Theory and illustrative examples from Pakistan to explore how the religious and ideological narratives, family and gender-based expectations, cultural norms, and social and digital environments can intersect in women’s journey towards radicalization. It proposes a Gendered Radicalization Pathway (GRP) as a framework to conceptualize radicalization as conditional interaction between vulnerability, social constraint, ideological exposure, reinforcement, and agency. The paper argues that agency and vulnerability can coexist. Women in Pakistan, may be influenced by patriarchal structures while also exercising meaningful choice within them. This is a shift from the victim-perpetrator paradigm and enables more gender-responsive prevention and counter-radicalization strategies.
