Violent Extremism

Violent extremism refers to beliefs or actions that justify using violence to promote rigid or extreme political, religious, or ideological goals. People involved often see their cause as entirely right, sometimes viewing violence as necessary or justified to achieve change. It is driven by feelings of injustice, grievance, or fear and can be fueled by propaganda or extremist groups. Addressing violent extremism involves understanding its roots, countering harmful narratives, and promoting peaceful, inclusive solutions to prevent harm and foster stability.
