The study follows a group of twenty-five friends, termed The Lads, during their transition from late-adolescence (16-22) through to early adulthood (22-28). This was a critical stage in their life course; it was a time when many had begun advancing into the world of work and business entrepreneurship, in search of their chosen career.

Gangs are feared as the most dangerous perpetrators of social violence. In gang communities ‘at-risk’ youth are subject to social exclusion, unemployment and domestic/street violence often joining gangs for alternative solutions. In the past, as an attempt to improve citizen security and attract voters, the government of El Salvador introduced a package of controversial anti-gang laws designed as a temporary means to criminalize gangs, violating several codes of international human rights.

    Genders at Work: Exploring the role of workplace equality in preventing men’s violence against women Scott Holmes and Michael Flood Genders at Work: Exploring the role of workplace equality in preventing men’s violence against women 1 White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end men’s violence against women and girls, promote gender equity, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. White Ribbon Australia, as part of this global movement, aims to create an Australian society in which all women can live in safety, free from violence and abuse. We are Australia’s only national, male-led violence prevention organisation. We work to examine the root causes of gender-based violence, challenge behaviours and create a cultural shift that leads us to a future without men’s violence against women. Through education, awareness-raising, preventative programs, partnerships and creative campaigns, we are highlighting the positive role men play in preventing men’s violence against women and inspiring them to be part of this social change. The Research and Policy Group provides expert advice, scholarship and general information on furthering prevention efforts in relation to the: • White Ribbon Research Series – Preventing Men’s Violence Against Women • White Ribbon Factsheets Series • Other White Ribbon resources and publications as required. The White Ribbon Policy Research Series is directed by an expert reference group comprising academic, policy and service experts.
