is to gain a better understanding of the thinking of men and boys around\u00a0 gender and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in order to develop more effective GBV prevention\u00a0 messages and strategies which would engage men and boys as partners in violence prevention.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A total of 520 men and boys between the ages of 15 and 60 from Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and\u00a0 the
