Reshma Sathiparsad

English

This article discusses research using focus groups and personal interviews with rural male youth on gender-based violence. The findings revealed that many of the youth considered relationship violence acceptable, but the article highlights the fluid, multiple and contextual nature of masculinity that surfaced. The significance of these alternative responses for interventions is emphasized.

French

Cet article commente une recherche menée au moyen de groupes de discussion et d'entrevues personnelles auprès de jeunes hommes de milieux ruraux sur le sujet de la violence sexospécifique. Les résultats révèlent que bon nombre de ces jeunes considèrent acceptable la violence relationnelle, mais l'article met en relief la nature variable, multiple et contextuelle de la masculinité qui s'en est dégagée. L'accent est donc mis sur le sens de ces nouvelles réponses en intervention.
