44. 一些国家政府将民间社会行为体视为推进旨在打击暴力极端主义的政策工具，拉拢民间社会行动参与自上而下的防止和打击暴力极端主义议程，以实现政治或安全目的。90 这种情况相对来说不太令人担忧，但同样是事实。政府针对的目标尤其适用于妇女和女童，完全无视这种拉拢或交易行为会使得那些在法律、政治和经济领域通常处于边缘地位的人变得脆弱。91 值得注意的是，若不合作，就会被解读为易受极端主义的影响或心怀同情，而很少被认为是一种独立生存和对单纯、中立和不受拉拢的立场的坚持。92
44. Less worrisome, but equally true, is that Governments see civil society actors as a vehicle for advancing policy aimed at countering violent extremism and have co-opted the efforts of civil society into a top-down agenda for preventing and countering violent extremism for political or security objectives.90 Government targeting particularly applies to women and girls and is entirely oblivious to the vulnerabilities of such co-option or commodification for those who are generally on the margins legally, politically and economically.91 Notably, failure to cooperate can be read as having a vulnerability to or sympathy for extremism, rarely as a form of independent survival and a commitment to singular, neutral and non-co-opted space.92
