Men and Violence
 Photo source |
Men and violence focuses on men both as perpetrators and
victims of violence, on the causes of men's violence and aggression,
and on addressing how to change norms that encourage violent behavior.
This includes gender-based violence, which is rooted in prescribed
behaviors, norms and attitudes based upon gender and sexuality.
Gender-based violence is an articulation of, or an enforcement of,
power hierarchies and structural inequalities that are informed by
belief systems, cultural norms and socialization processes. |
