Con el creciente enfoque en la lucha contra el terrorismo y el extremismo violento (CVE) en la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada, los responsables pol\u00edticos han buscado comprender mejor c\u00f3mo involucrar eficazmente a los diferentes actores en la lucha contra la radicalizaci\u00f3n y el reclutamiento para el extremismo violento. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha, pocos enfoques buscan comprender de forma significativa c\u00f3mo las normas e identidades relacionadas con la masculinidad pueden ser factores impulsores de dicha violencia y, al mismo tiempo, generar oportunidades para su prevenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Traditional approaches to CVE attempt to provide alternatives to joining extremist groups; however, they often fail to consider the gendered factors, such as a search for meaning in life or concepts of honor, that may drive men to join and support such groups. Research and interventions that do consider gender have primarily focused on the role of women in violent extremism. However, men and boys are disproportionately recruited by and join extremist groups, and they are more likely to carry out extremist violence.<\/p>\n

Investigaci\u00f3n<\/a> from Equimundo and others across the globe finds that the strongest drivers of men\u2019s violence against their female partners are gender-inequitable and violence-supportive attitudes, involvement in fights, and experiences of violence during childhood. Income-related stress is also found to be associated with men\u2019s use of violence. These root causes of interpersonal violence also extend to men\u2019s use of collective violence, including violent extremism.<\/p>\n

Equimundo se asocia con Vital Voices<\/a>, as part of the Voices Against Violence<\/a> consortium, to deepen understanding\u00a0of the intersections among gender inequality, harmful masculinities, violence-supportive attitudes and practices, and violent extremism \u2013 including exploring ways to work with young men around identity construction and trauma in order to prevent their recruitment into extremist\u00a0violence. The project will produce a landmark paper and an advocacy brief focused on the connections between masculinities and violent extremism, with inputs from consultations with experts around the world.<\/p>\n

In shifting the narrative to one of \u201cpreventing\u201d violent extremism, there is a need to look deeper into the reasons why men join such groups, and to examine how their gendered identities constructed in day-to-day lives are manipulated for recruitment purposes. At the same time, it is important to remember that a small minority of men join violent extremist groups, to understand why most men do no<\/em> join such groups, and to elevate these voices of peace.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
