In order to delve into the area of masculinities and son preference deeper, ICRW in partnership with UNFPA have conducted a study on men's attitudes around son preference in seven states of India. The study looks at men's attitudes and practices around gender inequality, son preference, and gender based violence. The objective is to understand predictors of masculinities and how varying forms of masculinity aff ect men's desire for sons and their perpetration of violence against their intimate partners.
