• Tareena Shakil, a British woman, ran away to join ISIS in Syria in 2014 after experiencing domestic abuse and being radicalized online.

• Tareena was arrested upon return to the UK and served three years in prison for joining ISIS. She was the first British woman to be imprisoned for joining the group.
• Tareena went through a deradicalization program in prison, which she found helpful in understanding how she has been groomed and radicalized.
