Partners for Prevention | UNDP

Ladbury was commissioned by Partners for Prevention—on behalf of UNDP, UNFPA, UN Women and UNV – to lead on the communication strategy for and global roll out of The UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific, which built knowledge on how masculinities relate to men’s perceptions and perpetration of gender-based violence, in order to prevent violence.

The study undertook cutting-edge research to understand the root causes of gender-based violence (GBV) and their relation to masculinities. Over 15,000 men and women were surveyed in seven countries across East Asia and The Pacific, providing a holistic picture of the social structures, underlying norms, attitudes and behaviours related to perpetration of GBV.
