Men's Attitudes and Practices regarding Gender and Violence against Women in Bangladesh

This survey - conducted by icddr,b, with UNFPA and Partners for Prevention - is the first study ever conducted in Bangladesh that targets understanding men’s attitudes and practices regarding gender and violence against women. The survey found that men who have negative attitudes towards women are more likely to use violence, affecting not only the women for whom they have violated but also the children in their lives, families and the community at large. The research also found that men who have been abused as a child are at least two times more likely to use violence against women later on in life, amongst other findings.
