The Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) is custodian of the United Nations Multi-Country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific quantitative data set.
The UN Multi-Country Study on Men and Violence (UNMCS) was led by four United Nations Agencies – UNDP, UNFPA, UN Women and UNV – through the joint programme Partners for Prevention (P4P). The study sought to understand how masculinities relate to men’s perceptions and perpetration of violence against women. The P4P programme closed in March 2018.
The national and pooled regional data sets are an asset to the field. P4P and SVRI are committed to ensuring that the data is used to build knowledge on ending violence against women and girls. To ensure this resource is fully utilised. The SVRI periodically puts out calls for applications from qualified researchers to access the data set for secondary analysis.

Refer to the documents below for the regional UNMCS study, as well as the study methodology and survey questionnaires.
The following journal articles have been published using the UNMCS data set. Applicants for the current call for proposals should avoid replicating these study topics, in order to expand the field of prevention and response to violence against women.
