Abstract
Engaging men and boys to prevent intimate partner violence: A holistic approach to change gender attitudes and behaviour
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.1 Promoting egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships as responses to Gender-based violence and femicide
Oral Presentation
There is a global movement to engage men in initiatives to reduce gender-based violence and increase awareness of the negative societal impacts of violence against women and girls. This paper explores the efforts to engage men in preventing intimate partner violence in South Africa. A qualitative study was conducted by fifteen participants who run programmes involving men and boys in Gauteng Province. The findings reflect broader debates within the gender and development literature around “bringing men and boys in” and may thus be relevant in justifying the greater need of involving men and boys in efforts to reduce intimate partner violence. Further, the findings reflect that interventions engaging men and boys have the potential to change gender attitudes and behaviours. This paper concludes that efforts to engage men and boys are essential. Holistic approaches should be taken to end all forms of intimate partner violence through men’s inclusive programmes that build the capacity of men and boys.
