#StateOfTheWorldsFathers, a #MenCare publication produced by #Promundo, is a globally recognized, biennial report and advocacy platform aiming to change power structures, policies, and social norms around care work and to advance gender equality. It presents not only the state of the field, but also a vision and pathway to achieve #mensequalparticipation in unpaid care for the benefit of women, children, men themselves, and society more broadly.

Question: How many men will openly admit to abusing or raping women?

Answer: Too many

Phy - Physical; Psy - Psychological/Emotional; Eco - Economic; Sex - Sexual

An em dash (–) indicates that type of violence was not studied at that site.

I compiled this data from data from several sources, each study was based on the “International Men and Gender Equality Survey” (IMAGES) project by Promundo.

Notes:

There are no western/high-income countries listed because none of these countries have participated in this particular study. I will make other resources that include references to these demographics.

These percentages indicate the number of men who openly admit to perpetrating these forms of violence (as in to survey questions like “Pushed or shoved his wife”). This suggests that these estimates are absolute floor estimates -- the true prevalence is likely higher in most of the countries studied.

As such, the numbers are also only comparable across country in that they show the number of men who will admit to perpetrating these forms of violence. Differences are therefore likely attributable to two mechanisms: (1) real differences in the prevalence rate of violence and (2) the cultural acceptability of these forms of violence.

The averages are meant to provide a quick reference number. The averages are NOT meant to serve as a “true prevalence” rate (i.e. various statistical methods including weighting were NOT applied). For example, you can say that “24% of men in Brazil admit to perpetrating physical intimate partner violence”; you cannot say “21.3% of men in Latin America admit to perpetrating physical intimate partner violence”.

Yet there are reasons for optimism. Globally, patrilineal culture is in retreat. The selective abortion of girls is declining. The male-to-female ratio at birth peaked in China and India and has fallen since. In South Korea, Georgia and Tunisia, which used to have highly skewed sex ratios, it has fallen back to roughly the natural rate.

Child marriage is falling, too. Since 2000 more than 50 countries have raised the legal minimum age of marriage to 18. Globally, 19% of women aged 20-24 were married by 18 and 5% by 15, according to Unicef, the UN’s children’s fund, but that is down from 31% and more than 10% in 2000. Polygyny is less common than it was, and often unpopular even where it is widespread, because of the harm it does to women and non-elite men. Women’s groups have pushed for bans in countries such as India, Uganda, Egypt and Nigeria.

Even in rural Iraq, some sexist traditions are in retreat. Mr Manshad says it is no longer acceptable for men to pay blood debts by handing over a daughter. “It is haram [sinful],” he says, though local feminists say it still goes on.

Other trends that help include urbanisation and pensions. When women move to cities, they earn higher wages and increase their clout at home. Their clan ties tend to loosen, too, since they live surrounded by non-members.

When the state provides pensions, old people no longer depend so completely on their children to support them. This weakens the logic of patrilineality. If parents do not need a son to take care of them, they may not desire one so fervently, or insist so forcefully that he and his wife live with them. They may even feel sanguine about having a daughter.

That is what happened in South Korea, the country that in modern times has most rapidly dismantled a patrilineal system. In 1991 it equalised male and female inheritance rights, and ended a husband’s automatic right to custody of the children after divorce. In 2005 the legal notion of a single (usually male) “head of household” was abolished. In 2009 a court found marital rape unconstitutional. Meanwhile, increased state pensions sharply reduced the share of old Koreans who lived with, and depended on, their sons. And among parents, one of the world’s strongest preferences for male babies switched within a generation to a slight preference for girls.

The change was so fast that it prompted a backlash among bewildered men. By comparison, it took ages for patrilineal culture to wither in the West, though it started much earlier, when the Catholic church forbade polygamy, forced and cousin marriage and the disinheritance of widows in the seventh century.

Individual attitudes can evolve. In Uganda, which has seen five violent changes of government since independence and invaded most of its neighbours, 49% of women and 41% of men tell pollsters that it is sometimes acceptable for a man to beat his wife. But this rate is in decline.

In the northern district of Lira, which is still recovering from a long war against rebels of the Lord’s Resistance Army, domestic violence is rampant, says Molly Alwedo, a social worker. But it is falling. She credits the REAL Fathers Initiative, a project designed by Save the Children, a charity, and the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University. It offers older male mentors to young fathers to improve their parenting and relationship skills.

Gary Barker of Promundo, an NGO that promotes such mentoring globally, says: “There’s always a cohort of men who say, wait a minute, I don't believe in these [sexist] norms. [They see the] consequences for their mums and their sisters.” It is local dissidents, rather than parachuting Westerners, who make the best messengers. Mentors do not tell young men their attitudes are toxic. They get them to talk; about what happens in their homes and whether it is fair. Peers swap tips on how to control their anger.

It doesn’t work everywhere. But a randomised controlled trial with 1,200 Ugandan fathers found that such efforts resulted in a drop in domestic violence. Emmanuel Ekom, a REAL Fathers graduate, used to come home drunk and quarrel until morning, says his wife, Brenda Akong. Now he does jobs he once scorned as women’s work, such as collecting firewood and water. One day she came home and discovered him cooking dinner. ■

The cost of misogyny: Societies that treat women badly are poorer and less stable

“The video game ecosystem is a double-edged sword,” summises Gary Barker, President and CEO of Promundo-US. 

“It is part of the problem as it fuels harmful ideas of manhood; it is also an important part of the solution. The video gaming culture provides valuable human connection and a safe space to discuss feelings… The danger is that the current culture often normalizes violence, hate, and fosters a belief system consistent with white extremism.”

Harmful masculinity drives men's perpetration of sexual assault and violence.

According to The Man Box, Promundo’s study of young men ages 18 to 30 in the US, UK, and Mexico, harmful ideas around masculinity are linked to a higher likelihood of perpetrating violence.

The study found that men who identify more strongly with stereotypical notions of masculinity — or who are in the “Man Box” — are up to six times more likely to report having perpetrated sexual harassment, and up to seven times more likely to have used physical violence.

The associations between harmful masculine norms and violence are so strong, that if we got rid of the Man Box all together, we could reduce sexual violence in the US by at least 69 percent annually.

Hudson and her co-authors tested the relationship between their patrilineal syndrome and violent political instability. They ran various regressions on their 176 countries, controlling for other things that might foster conflict, such as ethnic and religious strife, colonial history and broad cultural categories such as Muslim, Western and Hindu.

They did not prove that the syndrome caused instability, that would require either longitudinal data that have not yet been collected or natural experiments that are virtually impossible with whole countries. But they found a strong statistical link.

The syndrome explained three-quarters of the variation in a country’s score on the Fragile States index compiled by the Fund for Peace, a think-tank in Washington. It was thus a better predictor of violent instability than income, urbanisation or a World Bank measure of good governance.

The authors also found evidence that patriarchy and poverty go hand in hand. The syndrome explained four-fifths of the variation in food security, and four-fifths of the variation in scores on the UN’s Human Development Index, which measures such things as lifespan, health and education. “It seems as if the surest way to curse one’s nation is to subordinate its women,” they conclude.

Sexism starts at home

The obstacles females face begin in the womb. Families that prefer sons may abort daughters. This has been especially common in China, India and the post-Soviet Caucasus region.

Thanks to sex-selective abortion and the neglect of girl children, at least 130 million girls are missing from the world’s population, by one estimate.

That means many men are doomed to remain single; and frustrated single men can be dangerous. Lena Edlund of Columbia University and her co-authors found that in China, for every 1 per cent rise in the ratio of men to women, violent and property crime rose by 3.7 per cent.

Parts of India with more surplus men also have more violence against women. The insurgency in Kashmir has political roots, but it cannot help that the state has one of most skewed sex ratios in India.

Family norms vary widely. Perhaps the most socially destabilising is polygamy (or, more precisely, polygyny, where a man marries more than one woman). Only about 2 per centof people live in polygamous households. But in the most unstable places it is rife.

In war-racked Mali, Burkina Faso and South Sudan, the figure is more than a third. In the north-east of Nigeria, where the jihadists of Boko Haram control large swathes of territory, 44 per cent of women aged 15-49 are in polygynous unions.

If the richest 10 per cent of men have four wives each, the bottom 30 per cent will have none. This gives them a powerful incentive to kill other men and steal their goods. They can either form groups of bandits with their cousins, as in north-western Nigeria, or join rebel armies, as in the Sahel. In Guinea, where soldiers carried out a coup on September 5, 42 per cent of married women aged 15-49 have co-wives.

...Yet there are reasons for optimism. Globally, patrilineal culture is in retreat. The selective abortion of girls is declining. The male-to-female ratio at birth peaked in China and India and has fallen since. In South Korea, Georgia and Tunisia, which used to have highly skewed sex ratios, it has fallen back to roughly the natural rate.

Child marriage is falling, too. Since 2000 more than 50 countries have raised the legal minimum age of marriage to 18. Globally, 19 per cent of women aged 20-24 were married by 18 and 5 per cent by 15, according to Unicef, the UN’s children’s fund, but that is down from 31 per cent and more than 10 per cent in 2000.
