P/CVE (Prevention/Countering Violent Extremism)

Prevention and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) are strategies aimed at stopping individuals from turning to violence motivated by extremist beliefs. P/CVE focuses on addressing the root causes of radicalization, such as social, economic, or ideological grievances, through community engagement, education, and support programs. The goal is to prevent vulnerable individuals from adopting extremist views and engaging in violent acts. It involves collaboration among governments, communities, and organizations to promote resilience, tolerance, and understanding, ultimately reducing the risk of violence and fostering safer, more inclusive societies.
