By Séraphin Alava, Divina Frau-Meigs, and Ghayda Hassan. In collaboration with Hasna Hussein and Yuanyuan Wei

UNESCO has commissioned the study titled Youth and Violent Extremism on Social Media—Mapping the Research. This work provides a global mapping of research (mainly during 2012-16) about the assumed roles played by social media in violent radicalization processes, especially when they affect youth and women.
