dc.description.abstractThis study attempts to examine, based on the accounts of men, the relationship between their understanding and performativity of gender, particularly masculinity, and the prevalence of IPV in Nima, a boisterous suburb in the heart of Accra, Ghana. The study utilizes Judith Butler’s “Gender as Performativity” theory as well as Lori Heise’s integrated, ecological framework that presents violence as a multilayered phenomenon involving an interaction between personal history, situational, and socio-cultural factors to understand the etiology and prevalence of IPV in this community. In carrying out this study, I conducted in-depth interviews with respondents between the ages of 25 and 40 living in different neighborhoods of Nima. Also, in order to provide a distinct sense of how violence is framed and negotiated by a survivor of IPV in this community, I interviewed a young woman who had recently been battered by her boyfriend.en_US
