National Defence University researcher Juha Saarinen, in relation to higher than elsewhere in Europe, where women have an average of being 10 to 15 per cent of those leaving the country.
Saarinen says that of the women that have left for Syria, little is known about their motives.
– Probably the most of those who have left are married to their husbands, and have gone with them to the areas of conflict. Of these women who have left, all have been supporters of Isis.
– The majority of the women who have left are attached to a person who has been in the area or travelled to the area, Security Police Communications Chief Jyri Rantala states.

– Some are house wives who keep the house afloat. Especially if their family has young children. If the children do not exist, women may take another social role and activities such as teachers. Some are known to patrol the streets and to supervise the local women to dress in accordance with the requirements of the Islamic state, Saarinen says.
