    OPTION B: BOYS’ EDUCATION AND GENDER EQUALITY


    1 National estimates indicate that one in five American women have experienced sexual violence at some point in their lives. Ten
    2 million women report that they have gone through this type of violence before turning 18. One in three girls have reported
    3 experiencing dating violence (physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner).
    4 Most girls and women in the USA are given advice about rape prevention: never let your drink out of sight, don’t walk alone at
    5 night, don’t wear revealing outfits, etc. We live in a society where violence against women —both in action and speech— is prevalent,
    6 and it’s therefore reasonable to worry about women’s safety. But what are boys being taught while girls are given advice?
    7 Research confirms that parents talk more frequently with daughters than with sons about these issues, and tend to focus on
    8 reducing the risk of assault. Besides, few people receive formal education on this topic in school or from parents. Little research has
    9 evaluated the effectiveness of educational approaches to reducing violence against women. However, there are some promising
    10 strategies currently in practice that focus on the role of conventional gender norms in the perpetration of sexual violence. Empirical
    11 evidence demonstrates that sexist, hostile attitudes are predictors of violence against women. The tolerance of these attitudes is
    12 known as “rape culture”.
    13 Education alone is by no means a panacea, but it’s undoubtedly a solid start. This education should start early and occur often.
    14 It should go beyond what girls can do to prevent being victims. The real focus should be on the attitudes that boys have about women
    15 and masculinity, and on the actions that men can take to promote mutual respect.
