Exploring Masculinities in South Asia: A Forum
Introduction As part the 2013 Prajnya 16 Days Campaign against Gender Violence a forum to facilitate conversations on men, masculinities, gender and gender violence was organized on 6 December, 2013. While we have largely focused on women and gender violence in the past, we think it important to make visible and comprehend masculinities for a more rounded understanding of the issue. The discussions were an attempt to engage with the everyday performance of gender, and how this in turn plays out in the larger discourse of gender violence. We twinned two important new resources to inform the conversation at the Forum. •
•
A UN Study released in 2013 found that male violence against women was pervasive across Asia. Men were most likely to rape intimate partners and this largely came out of a sense of entitlement. However, as local patterns varied, it was possible to also find that not all men are violent. Context matters, the study underscored. Let's Talk Men 2.0 is a new film series aimed at drawing boys and men into discussions on gender and violence prevention.
Three films that are a part of Let’s Talk Men 2.0 were screened as part of this event. 1. Kesang Tseten’s Men at Work, a film that looks at the workplace of boys and men; 2. Rahul Roy’s Till We Meet Again, which explores through the everyday of four men the experience of a changing Delhi and how it intersects with their marriage, children, families and work.; 3. Prasanna Vithanage’s With you, Without you a feature film on how a Sri Lankan married couple, one of whom is a Tamil and the other is Sinhalese, grapples with ethnic differences. Each of the films was followed by a discussion. The following is a report of the proceedings. We invited Anil Srinivasan to anchor the discussions. Anil Srinivasan is a classical pianist educated at the University of Southern California and Columbia University, New York.
