This article reports on the perception of young people and stakeholders working in the area of violence against women (VAW) in Ireland regarding young men's role in addressing VAW. Men are seen as well positioned to intervene as active bystanders and to engage in feminist allyship. However, various barriers and ethical concerns need to be addressed, such as the privileging of men's perspectives over women's, pluralistic ignorance, and a tendency for confrontational approaches. Given the presence of political forces that oppose feminist activism, it is crucial to address these issues.
This article reports on how young people (aged 18-24) and stakeholders working in the area of violence against women (VAW) in Ireland, perceive young men's role in addressing VAW. We find that men are considered well positioned to intervene as active bystanders and to engage in feminist allyship. However, several barriers to men's active bystanding and engagement with the issue of VAW, as well as ethical, theoretical and practice issues, need to be considered. These include: the privileging of men's willingness to listen to other men, thereby devaluing women's perspectives; pluralistic ignorance where men feel other men do not share their discomfort of violence-supportive practices; and a tendency for men to default to confrontational modes of active bystanding. We highlight how these issues are even more pertinent to address given the presence of political forces that seek to stymie men's support for feminist activism and causes related to gender politics.
