Ep. 4: Norbert Leonhardmair "Gender, Ethical and Societal Aspects of Evaluation of P/CVE"

The INDEED Evaluation Podcast

In this episode, Norbert Leonhardmair, a researcher and project manager at the Vienna Centre for Social Security (VICESSE), discusses the critical role of gender, ethics, and societal aspects in the evaluation of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) initiatives. The INDEED Project utilizes the Gender, Ethical, Legal, and Societal Aspects (GELSA) framework, inspired by the UN Human Rights Approach, to ensure that de-radicalization efforts are both theoretically and practically sound.
Leonhardmair emphasizes the importance of addressing gender-specific aspects of radicalization, which have often been overlooked, particularly the unique needs of women and girls and the redefinition of masculinity. Additionally, the project highlights the necessity of engaging with vulnerable groups, urging practitioners to consider the diverse and contextual vulnerabilities individuals may face, thus bridging the gap between policy and practice. The project’s Evidence-Based Evaluation Model and Tool, which integrates GELSA, aims to enhance the efficacy and inclusiveness of P/CVE strategies.
