| Title | "A Coin with Two Sides": The Politics of Engaging Men in the Prevention of Men's Violence Against Women |
| Summary | In this thesis, I seek to explore the politics of men’s involvement and engagement in the primary prevention of men’s violence against women (VAW). In order to analyse how this politics plays out, practically, I consider a young-men focussed “gender-based violence” prevention project that has been implemented in the former Yugoslavia, by way of a case study. In so doing, I engage with the question of whether primary violence prevention efforts that are run by and for men can meaningfully address the problem of men’s VAW. I argue that these efforts must be underpinned by women’s leadership, feminist politics and gender theory in order to meaningfully address men’s power and privilege, which undergird men’s VAW, and ensure that they do not reproduce the structural inequality of the existing gender order. I conclude by restating the crucial, though fraught, nature of this work and suggesting ways in which it might be strengthened, in view of my analysis, as well as directions for future research. |
