Abstract

The socio-psychological profile of Muslim women who are members of radical religious organisations reveals a complex interplay of various factors reflecting deep socio-cultural, psychological and ideological dynamics. Radical organisations provide a sense of community and solidarity by attracting disenfranchised women in their societies.

The aim of the article is to identify and explore the socio-psychological factors that encourage Muslim women to join radical religious organisations.

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that studying the socio-psychological portrait of Muslims who join radical religious organisations has not only academic value but also important practical significance for security, policymaking, community stability and societal unity.

The novelty of the article lies in the fact that socio-psychological characteristics of Muslim women who have joined radical organisations will be developed and actions for their re-radicalisation will be proposed, taking into account the psychological mentality of the population.

The article examines the formation of radical groups, their role in society and the ways in which radical organisations attract people to join them. In addition, the article analyses interviews with Muslim women who have joined radical groups and analyses the reasons that did not motivate them to join these groups and their psychological characteristics. The motivating reasons and psychological profile are identified.
