Women Involved in Domestic or International Terrorism
Terrorism is the use of threats intended to create a commotion not only to the immediate victims but also to the entire audience. The extent to which it relies on worry determines terrorism as either domestic or international. Generally, terrorism is the use of brutality to generate in the achievement of political goals. Therefore, terrorists engage in highly dramatic, violent, and high levels of attack to maintain the public necessity of fear to the intended audience. Terrorism includes a variety of activities such as hijacking, car bombings, hostage taking, kidnappings, and suicide bombings. Women are not exceptional to participate in terrorist acts to achieve their political goals. Terrorists use familiar places to destroy the normal routine of the places or regions to assert pressure on political leaders (Banks, 2019).
Nowadays, most terrorism includes women, and yet, most counterterrorism ignore women, they focus on the men. Women have many ways they contribute to conflicts in different countries such as Iraq, Syria, and the United States. In regions such as Ukraine, Kurdish, and Columbia, women play a crucial role in civil wars. Women are the major reasons why wars take a long time without an end.

The three families coordinated the attacks leading to deaths of some of the children as well as parents. Eight people lost their lives in the attacks due to women's knowledge and techniques in terrorism. The above act portrayed women as dangerous as fellow men counterparts in terrorist activities. It has led to a little trust of women in society as being perpetrators of the attacks in the future.
ISIS enforced separation of sexes as only a few women had permission to up arms during the war. Women served as doctors, propagandists, fundraisers, and recruiters during the ISIS and they were a part of the morality police. The efforts of women are critical to contributing to the armed group’s success. Women played important roles as propagandists and recruiters for ISIS, as they may do so on their return at home. They can form new terrorist group networks that are more advanced and effective according to the new technology. The new networks formed by women can prolong terrorist attacks towards their fighting enemies (Carlton & Schaerf, 2015). In my perception, women have the power to control the overall war stature of terrorists...
