Executive Summary
This report gives the results of a survey on men’s self-reported pereptration of sexual violence from Chile, Croatia, India, Mexico and Rwanda. The report notes the correlation between men who have committed rape and men who have paid for sex, witnessed violence between their parents, and have demonstrated sexual aggression in their youth. The report recommends gender transformative programs that will reduce the sense of sexual entitlement to women.
