Politicizing The Male Engagement Agenda in Feminist Movements to End Violence Against Women
REFNo: SS3930ES
This research project does not contest the strategy of engaging men in global efforts to EVAW, but rather seeks to investigate the implications of the shift in global emphasis to forwarding men as leaders, authorities, and key actors in efforts to prevent VAW in ways that could have unintended consequences for social justice movements, organizations and institutions that have been historically women-centered, women-led, and survivor-focused.
The research questions include:
Based on the gaps in the literature as described above, we propose the following
Primary Research Question:
What are the implications of the male engagement agenda on local organizations working to end violence against women in the Global South?
Secondary Research Questions:
a. Using women-led organizations working in Kampala, Uganda as a local case study, what are the impacts of the male engagement agenda on funding and programming for these organizations?
b. What is the extent of this impact? How have these organizations experienced this impact?
c. How have organizations navigated these impacts?
d. Using Men Engage Uganda as a comparative site, how and to what extent do members identify both opportunities and challenges in their relationship with feminist organizations?
