This edition consists the next stage of this cooperation, having as reference the Istanbul Convention and emphasizing on the experiences and roles assigned to boys.
This book presents the stories of three boys, aiming to project gender stereotypes related to behaviors, roles and expectations usually attributed to boys and, often, associated with violent behaviors. Two (2) of the stories focus on showing how social prejudices and gender stereotypes, as well as social conditions that affect gender relations over time, affect boys' socialization and behavior.
The third story presents the case of a boy who is sexually harassed and focused on how gender stereotypes may affect boys' behavior as victims.
All three narratives aim at approaching the phenomenon of violence whilst emphasizing stereotypes associated with masculinity.
