Socio-psychological portrait of muslim women involved in radical movements

Abstract

The socio-psychological profile of Muslim women who are members of radical religious organizations reveals a complex interplay of various factors reflecting deep socio-cultural, psychological and mental dynamics. Radical organizations provide a sense of community and solidarity by attracting disenfranchised women in their societies. The aim of the article is to identify and explore the socio-psychological factors that encourage Muslim women to join radical religious organizations. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that studying the socio-psychological portrait of Muslims who join radical religious organizations has not only academic value but also important practical significance for security, policymaking, community stability and societal unity. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that socio-psychological characteristics of Muslim women who have joined radical organizations will be developed and actions for their re-radicalization will be proposed, taking into account the psychological mentality of the population. The article examines the formation of radical groups, their role in society and the ways in which radical organizations attract people to join them. In addition, the article analyzes interviews with Muslim women who have joined radical groups and analyzes the reasons that did not motivate them to join these groups and their psychological characteristics. The motivating reasons and psychological profile are identified.
