Legal scholars accuse the US of neglecting women and minorities in counter-terrorism policies

Legal experts at New York University have released the first study examining how US counter-terrorism policies have affected the rights of women and sexual minorities. The three year investigation, which included scores of interviews with US and foreign government officials; and non-government agencies across the world has found that these policies have failed to protect women and sexual minorities from terrorism. For more on the report, called A Decade Lost: Locating Gender in U.S. Counter-Terrorism, we were joined by co-author Lama Fakih, from the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice.
