Abstract

This report documents the Irish findings of a four year (2019-2023), multi-country research study funded through the EU GENDER-NET Plus programme, entitled PositivMasc. The project had three key aims:

• To explore the discourses that young people (aged 18-24) use in their understandings of masculinities and how these discourses influence their attitudes towards violence against women.

• To explore young people’s and stakeholders’ views on how positive, anti-violence masculinities might be promoted and supported in order to challenge VAW.

• To develop actions and guidelines which support and promote forms of masculinity and manhood that actively reject and challenge VAW.
