男子实施基于性别的暴力仍然是一个全球公共卫生问题。预防暴力专家呼吁男孩和男人参与改变有关男子气概的社会规范，以防止基于性别的暴力。然而，男性并不构成一个单一的类别。根据亚太地区多国性别暴力预防调查中报告同性行为和偏好的男性的概率估计，我们测试了性相关因素对男性不良生活经历的影响。我们发现，从统计数据来看，性少数男性面临与性别暴力相关的终生逆境的风险更高，这源于社会中性别不平等的规范。因此，性行为是亚太地区男性差异的一个关键轴，影响着健康和福祉，反映了男性对男性气质主导规范的不同参与。将对男性性多样性的认识纳入基于性别的暴力预防干预措施，特别是针对男孩和男子的干预措施，并将性少数群体社区和妇女之间的暴力预防规划衔接起来，对于解决暴力的根源驱动因素至关重要。
Men's perpetration of gender-based violence remains a global public health issue. Violence prevention experts call for engagement of boys and men to change social norms around masculinity in order to prevent gender-based violence. Yet, men do not comprise a homogenous category. Drawing on probability estimates of men who report same-sex practices and preferences captured in a multi-country gender-based violence prevention survey in the Asia-Pacific region, we test the effects of sexuality-related factors on men's adverse life experiences. We find that sexual minority men face statistically higher risk of lifetime adversity related to gender-based violence, stemming from gender inequitable norms in society. Sexuality is thus a key axis of differentiation among men in the Asia-Pacific region, influencing health and wellbeing and reflecting men's differential engagement with dominant norms of masculinity. Integrating awareness of male sexual diversity into gender-based violence prevention interventions, particularly those that work with boys and men, and bridging violence prevention programming between sexual minority communities and women, are essential to tackle the root drivers of violence.
