Description:
This self-learning tool aims to assist both UN and non-UN staff to better understand the issues of masculinities in relation to violence against women and girls. It is based on the premise that, across the world, “In all societies there are many ideas about masculinity and femininity that are harmful, not just to girls and women, but also to boys and men, as well as people of other gender identities”. Building on this central premise, this booklet is the result of a series of training courses that aim to strengthen capacities of development practitioners and advocates to understand, integrate and address critical gender issues surrounding masculinities and VAW in their lives and work.
