Strategies to Engage Men and Boys in Violence Prevention

Abstract: This study presents descriptive findings from in-depth interviews with 29 representatives of organizations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North and South America that engage men and boys in preventing gender-based violence. In particular, the findings suggest that strategies are responsive to the specific cultural, economic and contextual concerns of the local community, with nuanced messages and appropriate messengers. Additionally, respondents reported key principles informing their organizational str… Show more

“…These findings corroborate most studies related to interpersonal violence, which show higher prevalence among men [21][22][23]. Most individuals live in the urban area, but the proportion of maxillofacial trauma was higher among those living in the suburban area.…”

“…For example, organizational representatives across all regional contexts reported that their programs’ gendered analysis of violence against women necessitates inviting men to take a close look at constructions of gender and particularly masculinity, which can simultaneously be a source of discomfort and disengagement for men and boys. This echoes a considerable body of conceptual and empirical work on engaging men (e.g., Berkowitz 2004; Crooks et al 2007) and is the motivation for many of the creative, positive outreach strategies developed both by programs in this study and by other well-established organizations dedicated to positively partnering with men in their community (see e.g., Carlson et al in press; WHO 2007). Respondents in this study also indicated struggling with sustaining both the involvement of individual men and the momentum of their programming, challenges noted in extant research (e.g., Funk 2008).…”

“…In a previous analysis of data from this project, we identified recruitment and engagement strategies used by the programs to reach out to men in their communities; many of these strategies intersect with (or may have been developed in response to) the tensions described below. Readers are referred to Carlson et al (in press) for an in-depth discussion of the creative engagement strategies these programs reported using. The discussion that follows is, therefore, largely a delineation of the core challenges of engaging men identified by participating programs.…”
