Now with Reshmi Nair, CBC

Nikita Malik, Researcher at Quilliam, talks to CBC about the need for stronger female role models in the effort to dissuade young girls from travelling to Syria and Iraq to join groups such as ISIS. In the discussion, Nikita also mentions how the radicalisation process and why it is that young girls are attracted to playing a part in Islamic States’ state building exercises, and why the reality on the ground doesn’t reflect their idea of the newly established ‘Caliphate’.
