This project distinguishes that not all men use violence but stresses that even among those who do not use violence; their lives are still deeply touched by the construction of the same hegemonic masculinities that at times entail the use of violence. It is imperative then, the project contends, to form spaces where men and boys can contemplate discourse on masculinities, where they can revisit cultural and social assumptions which predispose to violence and where, they can attempt to construct alternative traits of manhood that are non-violent and egalitarian. The project endeavors to champion forms of Female-male relationships that are based on affection, mutual respect and understanding.

The project debates that the relationship of men and boys to violence against women is multifaceted and very complex and that it is a relationship that touches all women and all men directly and indirectly. Complimentary efforts of women and men, boys and girls are necessary to enhance gender justice and create a new gender order that benefits both sexes.
