The International Planned Parenthood Federation of Papua, UNFPA, UNV and UN Women with support from Partners for Prevention, are implementing a VAWG prevention project in Papua, Indonesia. The intervention, Rai Mai (Reaching Papuan Prosperity) addresses key risk factors for VAWG identified in the UN Multi-Country Study on Men and Violence in Indonesia.
The quantitative survey on men’s experiences of violence against women in Indonesia was conducted between October and December of 2012 by the Rifka Annisa Women’s Crisis Centre in collaboration with UN Women and Partners for Prevention. The summary, “Men’s Experiences of Violence against Women in Indonesia” presents statistics on the experiences of 2,577 men with respect to violence against women, as well as in their own lives. They were a representative sample of three sites: Jakarta, Jayapura and Purworejo.
The report, entitled ‘Why Do Some Men Use Violence Against Women and How Can We Prevent It? Quantitative Findings from the UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific’ was conducted in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. It explores the prevalence of men’s use of violence against women in the survey sites, and shows what factors make men more or less likely to use violence.
