“…As such, these programs can be seen to support gender equality through multiple avenues, including (but not limited to) addressing the known drivers of gender-based violence (Our Watch et al, 2015) and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of men and boys (Gwyther et al, 2019). In saying this, valid concerns raised by feminist scholars regarding the diversion of resources away from efforts that support women and girls must continue to be heeded, and caution must be taken regarding the perpetuation of gender binaries and hierarchies that working with single-sex cohorts presents (Keddie, 2021; McCook, 2022). However, the elaboration observed in this sample, whilst non-representative, speaks to the value of these programs in supporting social and emotional learning and engaging men in transforming social and gender norms that reinforce gender inequality (Glinski et al, 2018).…”

“…Meaningful engagement of men and boys is critical to transforming the social and gender norms that reinforce gender inequality (Glinski et al, 2018; McCook, 2022). Fundamental to this is supporting men and boys to see themselves as part of the processes that enact sustainable, transformative change whilst retaining the foundational feminist principles of gender equality (Greig & Flood, 2020; Keddie, 2021).…”

This article explores how the design and delivery of programs challenging gendered norms amongst men and boys can support attitude and behaviour change through more conscious and deliberate engagement with program content. Sixty-seven past participants of programs delivered by five Australian organisations completed an online survey based on their experiences. The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) was used to explore participants' perspectives regarding motivation and ability to elaborate on program content, evidence of elaboration occurring, and experiences of attitude and behaviour change post-program. Program strengths included highlighting the personal relevance of program content, eliminating distractions and message comprehensibility. Opportunities for improvement included increasing message repetition and the number of message sources. Evidence of elaboration was present across all program types, including single-session programs, and included reflections on social and emotional learnings. The findings demonstrate how program design and delivery can support processing program material at a deeper and more conscious level, including when dealing with resource and time constraints.

Approaches to gendered violence are generally based on a rights approach, encouraging women to seek help from the criminal justice system and services that might support them. But a victim’s rights approach to sexual violence and consent is only effective if women see those rights mirrored back at them in the help and protections they seek. Drawing on data from 19 semi-structured interviews with refugee and migrant antiviolence advocates in Australia, this chapter uses Sally Merry’s (Merry, Human Rights Quarterly 25:343–381, 2003) concept of a ‘rights consciousness’ to explore the tensions women might experience when problems related to gender are presented as a legal issue. Highlighting the tensions refugee and migrant women might face between taking on a rights defined self, and a self tied to family, kin and community, the findings explore three themes: “Marriage is Consent”, “Loyalty to Men”, and “Experiences with Justice”. Taken together, these findings advance the need to consider sexual violence and consent not just in individualistic legal terms, but as an issue of social justice that considers broader, intersecting inequalities. Rather than encouraging women to take up their rights, efforts should focus on how to ensure a rights approach is affirmed in responses to sexual violence and consent.
