“…In the action phase, the participants participated in different sociodramatic sessions such as Bou ke shashon kora (chastising wife), Adorsho bou/ma (ideal wife/mother), and Shat Bhai Chompa (seven brothers and a sister, see Rizwan et al, 2020). The psychodrama sessions included a private marriage conflict of a young man from a slum where he participated in an act of beating his wife because of his anger towards his brother-in-law.…”

Sociodrama and psychodrama have shown promising behavioral and attitudinal changes among men who adhere to toxic masculine attitudes and behavior. However, it is unknown whether such an approach could potentially curb the rising gender-based violence in Bangladesh. This paper presents the findings of in-depth interviews with 12 out of the 40 men in an urban slum in Dhaka who received culturally contextualized sociodrama and psychodrama interventions and 20 close female family members. Following the intervention, the narratives revealed positive behavioral and attitudinal changes in men, including developing empathy, respect towards family members and co-workers, temper management, participation in household chores, a favorable attitude towards condom use, and reduced sexual harassment and drug abuse. The findings can be used in future research and interventions to address and reduce gender-based violence against women by men.
