Although the importance of working with young men to transform traditional gender norms has been widely acknowledged, programmes for young men remain sparse in highly gender stratified settings such as India, and those that have been implemented have not reached those in rural areas and those out-of-school. Drawing on data from a cluster randomised controlled trial with panel surveys, of a gender-transformative life skills education and sports-coaching programme conducted among young men aged 13-21 who were members of youth clubs, this paper examines the extent to which it transformed the gender role attitudes of young men and instilled in them attitudes rejecting violence against women and girls. The intervention succeeded in changing gender role attitudes and notions of masculinity, attitudes about men's controlling behaviours over women/girls, attitudes about men's perpetration of violence on a woman/girl and perceptions about peer reactions to young men acting in gender-equitable ways. Effects were particularly significant among young men who attended regularly, underscoring the importance of regular attendance in such programmes.
尽管与年轻人合作改变传统性别规范的重要性已得到广泛认可，但在印度等性别高度分层的环境中，针对年轻人的方案仍然很少，而且已经实施的方案并未覆盖到农村地区和失学青年。本文利用一项针对青年俱乐部成员中 13-21 岁青年开展的性别转化生活技能教育和体育教练方案的集群随机对照试验和面板调查数据，考察了该方案在多大程度上改变了青年男性的性别角色态度，并使他们树立起反对暴力侵害妇女和女童的态度。干预措施成功地改变了性别角色态度和男性气质观念，改变了关于男性控制女性/女孩行为、男性对女性/女孩施暴以及对男性以性别平等方式行事时同伴反应的看法。对于定期参加方案的青年男性，效果尤其显著，这凸显了此类方案中定期参与的重要性。
