Mumbai's macho men taught how to treat women (Independent Online, South Africa)

A group of activists have been holding workshops in Bombay's slums that aim to remove some dangerous ideas about sex and gender relations.

The target audience is jobless young males who are hang out in the slums and have such mistaken beliefs as "the man should make the woman cry in pain during sex" and "if a girl wears makeup, she is 'easy' and 'deserves' to be teased".

The good news is that the workshops are beginning to show a difference.
