Abstract

The spread of terrorism is often associated with radical network groups, such as Al Qaeda and The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Unlike other radical groups in various countries, ISIS is known as a group that uses women and children as perpetrators of terrorism. In Indonesia, acts of terrorism committed by women are also linked to ISIS. This paper will analyze how the spread of terrorist acts carried out by ISIS, the role of women in ISIS terrorism acts, and the pattern of terrorist acts of women ISIS sympathizers in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data is collected from searching for information on the internet and library sources from mass media, books, and scientific journals. The data are analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results show that the influence of ISIS has spread to various countries. There is a shift in women's role from sympathizers to perpetrators of acts of terrorism. In Indonesia, acts of women’s terrorism are not concentrated in certain areas but spread in various cities. The movement pattern has shifted from joint or group action to action alone.
