Beskrivning
Involving men to stop violence against women is a global trend, with celebrity-endorsed campaigns such as HeforShe and White Ribbon being hailed as progress in changing male behaviour. But the question remains: Has men’s involvement resulted in positive change, or has it reinforced the belief that women need to be rescued by men?Involving Men in Ending Violence against Women provides a feminist analysis of men’s motivations for joining violence against women’s movement. Through extensive fieldwork in Afghanistan, Pakistan and East Timor, this innovative title explores the roles men play in violence against women programs. Indeed, while there are growing voices that question male advocacy and activism in the violence against women campaign, this is the first monograph which provides empirical and critical analysis of how men’s feminist involvement is translated into benevolent patriarchy. Seeking to subvert mainstream narratives which accept male activism without questions, this controversial yet enlightening title will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, including postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as Gender and Sexualities, Political Science, Feminist Studies and Southeast Asian Studies.

'Involving Men in Ending Violence Against Women is a welcome critical reflection on the reasons for involving men and boys in development programming to end violence against women, and to advance gender equality more broadly. Looking beyond the theory, Joyce Wu sets out to examine the realities of men’s roles in practice, the challenges and the imperfect outcomes, and ‘the assumptions in the aid context about appropriate roles for men in combatting violence against women’. In doing so she highlights the extent to which emphasis put on involving men and boys is depoliticising the women’s empowerment agenda in multiple ways. She also articulates how the trend hugely underestimates, and therefore undermines, the work of women’s organisations in the field of VAW who have been involving men for years in ways that are strategic, long term, and embedded in societies.'—Kate Bishop (Principal Consultant – Gender Based Violence, Social Development Direct), Gender & Development
