The document summarizes the emergence of female militancy in Bangladesh through a criminological lens. It discusses how women have become involved in militant groups through family connections like husbands, fathers, and brothers. The first instance of a woman carrying out a suicide bombing in Bangladesh is also mentioned. Psychosocial factors that can contribute to radicalization are explained, such as victimization, frustration, and a need for meaning. Initiatives to prevent further militancy focus on addressing grievances, improving living conditions, education programs to challenge extremist views, and empowering community leaders.

2. MILITANT AND FEMALE MILITANT
 A militant organization or person is willing to use strong or violent action in order
to achieve political or social change.
 We use militant to describe people who believe in something very strongly and
are active in trying to bring about political or social change, often in extreme
ways that other people find unacceptable.
 Female suicide psychological militants don't contrast essentially from their male
partners as far as individual inspirations.
 Although social mistreatment may assume a minor part in their self-enlistment to
terror associations ladies don't bomb themselves essentially to drive a women's
activist cause.
 Bunches discover it further strengthening their good fortune to utilize female
planes as they get more media consideration, expanded sensitivity for the fear
monger cause, can pass efforts to establish safety more effectively than men.

3. THE EMERGENCE OF FEMALE
MILITANCY IN BANGLADESH
 This by no means, is another spectacle. The charged weaker sex has
reliably been a bit of anxiety as far back as the wonder was abused to make
mental and physical destruction on the goal, be it the state or a particular
section of the common people.
 It may be so in Bangladesh, yet so is the character of mental fighting that we
are finding in the country that we hadn't saw here some time as of late.
 What we saw on that day was just the authorizing of equivalent script that
has played out in many parts of the world, where Islamic fundamentalists are
executing cruelty for the holy content.

4. STATISTICS OF FEMALE MILITANTS
 The following is an account of known female jihadists in
Bangladesh in the last year(2016):

6. THE RECENT INCIDENT
 A female activist exploded herself in the middle of a police assault in an
aggressor alcove at Dhaka's Ashkona, denoting the first run through a lady
acted in the limit of a suicide aircraft in Bangladesh.
 Bangladesh's new flood of fierce fanatics, remarkably the New Jama'atul
Mujahideen Bangladesh outfit, are conducting an uncommon number of
female jihadists.
 A deadly explosion of a dangerous by a female activist during a 16-hour
police strike on her fort denoted the first run through a lady here has acted in
the limit of a suicide plane.

7. HOW THEY INVOLVED
 Women are associated with the militant groups by their relatives.
 Mainly they are inspired by their husbands.
 Some are linked by their father and brother.
 The militants’ sisters and sisters-in-law are married with other militants of
their organization. It is also a process of women's involvement in terrorist
networks, many of which already has been.
 Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) born in 1998. The leaders of this
organization from the beginning of their relationship started to add the
women through marriage with the women who are relatives of the militants of
their group.

8. EXPLANATION: A PSYCHOSOCIAL
APPROACH
 Female are engaging with militancy in Bangladesh as a result of their
repeated victimization inside the family or society.
 Terrorism must not be seen as a syndrome but as a method of social and
political influence.
 The attributes of terrorists are shaped by processes of social interaction.
 Terrorist organizations can be analyzed by analogy with other social
movements.
 Terrorism only is possible when terrorists have access to certain resources.
 Every terrorist campaign involves strategic goals but the rationality which
terrorists apply to their violence is imperfect.
 The activity of terrorists partly reflects the internal features of their
organizations.

skills
4. Cost Benefit Analysis (Rational Behavior)

b. ex. 9/11 very effective, total cost was relatively cheap

10. INITIATIVE TO PREVENT MILITANCY
 We need to look to the grievances and local factors that terrorist
organizations exploit and the propaganda that is their key instrument in
pushing vulnerable individuals down the path toward violence. More efforts
are needed through words and deeds to undermine the insidious message of
terrorist groups and to prevent vulnerable individuals from turning to
violence.
 To make progress on this front, we must resolve legitimate grievances
peacefully and strive to foster good governance, reduce poverty and
corruption, and improve education, health and basic services to the female.
 In particular, we need to focus our efforts on locations where the risk for
radicalization is exceptionally high. Once we understand the unique
combination of grievances and needs that are driving recruitment in these
“hotspots,” we can set about creating tailor-made programs and strategies in
response.

11. CONTD.
 As we focus on these factors and pursue our counterterrorism work more
broadly, we must constantly bear in mind that there is no tradeoff between
security and human rights and the rule of law. To the contrary, it is
increasingly evident that the recruitment of terrorists is most successful
where local dynamics increase popular disaffection and create conditions of
desperation.
 To achieve this objective, we must empower national and local leaders to
challenge extremist views through well-designed programs, training, and
funding. We should recognize the added value of partnering with non-
traditional actors such as NGOs, foundations, public-private partnerships,
and private businesses because these actors are often the most capable and
credible partners in local communities.

12. CONCLUSION
Terrorism, extremism and militancy are now the most dangerous global problems
as these pose mounting threats to the peace, security and stability of different
countries. Rich and poor nations alike are victims of these menaces.
Bangladesh is one of the worst victims of these scourges. Militancy, religious
extremism and terror activities rocked this country in recent past. Different
countries are taking various steps to contain the fast growing militancy and
terrorism and Bangladesh is also making all out efforts in this regard. But, with a
view to frustrating these efforts the militants are adopting new tactics based on
modern technology.
With a view to containing militancy the law enforcers have to be well-equipped
with the most modern arms, technological know-how and precision equipment
and side by side a strong social movement against this scourge.
