Violent Radicalization and Violent Extremism has engulfed some parts of the world like wildfire. Violent Radicalization and Violent Extremism that implicates religion is a major issue that can destroy intra-faith and interfaith relations.

The motivations of Violent Radicalization and Violent Extremism are varied with many of them stimulated by exclusive political and/or religious ideologies. The programme carries out awareness creation on the phenomenon and builds capacity of religious leaders, youth and women to provide counter narratives to extremist ideological constructs.
