Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Papau New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Vietnam - The UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific

The study methodology included:
· quantitative household surveys to understand the scale and scope of violence perpetration and the factors associated with this violence;
· qualitative life history interviews with more than 100 men who were known to have used violence and those who did not to explore how influences and experiences across a life span shape dominant and alternative masculinities; and
· gender politics of policy research to explore institutional factors and structural conditions which enable gender-based violence.

The UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific was a collaborative effort involving part­ners from academia, research institutes, civil soci­ety, UN agencies and governments.
