The study will allow us to better understand young men&rsquo;s attitudes and behaviours towards a range of topics including gender norms, employment, physical appearance, physical and mental health, relationships, caring for children and housework, sexuality and violence.&nbsp; This research is modelled on the methodology developed by Promundo in The Man Box: A Study on Being a Young Man in the US, UK, and Mexico, which was published early in 2017. Promundo is a global leader in promoting gender justice and preventing violence by engaging men and boys in partnership with women and girls.&nbsp;Promundo developed a tool called the Man Box, referring to &ldquo;a set of beliefs, communicated by parents, families, the media, peers, and other members of society, that place pressure on men to be a certain way.&rdquo; The study defines a set of rules including &ldquo;to be self-sufficient, to act tough, to be physically attractive, to stick to rigid gender roles, to be heterosexual, to have sexual prowess, and to use aggression to resolve conflicts&rdquo;, the adherence to which defines whether a man is inside or outside the Man Box.</font></font></p><p><strong><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Project contact</font></font></strong><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Michael Livingstone</font></font><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Jesuit Social Services</font></font></p><p><strong><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Funding Body</font></font></strong><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Privately funded</font></font></p><p><strong><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>Project start &amp; End Dates</font></font></strong><br /><font style="font-size: 100.0%;"><font>January 2018 &ndash; December 2018</font></font></p>en
