This report examines how we can support men to engage more in actions to prevent gender-based violence. This is the second report published from The Man Box 2024, a study led by The Men’s Project at Jesuit Social Services and conducted in partnership with Respect Victoria. The study examines the attitudes and behaviours of Australian men aged 18 to 45. It measures agreement with and experience of Man Box ‘rules’ – harmful stereotypes about what it means to be a man. Men who agree with these harmful rules are more likely to use violence against women.
