Defying rules. Defying gender?: women's resistance to Islamic State/ Gina Vale - 2023
Through disproportionate restrictions placed on women's movement and visualization within its "caliphate", the Islamic State (IS) group enforced its policies of female domesticity and submission. Studies on IS governance of local Iraqi, Syrian and Kurdish women have focused overwhelmingly on their victimization, abuse, and restricted agency. This paper uncovers the opportunities, activities, and impacts of individual and collective nonviolent resistance led by local Sunni and Yazidi women.
