dc.description.abstractIn the context of the Dominica National Gender Policy, meaning is acquired and generated by putting forward masculinity concerns, and questions about men and boys. It turns out that within the masculinist environment characteristic to the state, it is necessary not only for women, but also for men to engage in gender negotiations. Fixed understandings of gender roles, asymmetric gender relations, and misunderstandings of the concept of gender as referring to women only while obscuring men, present resistances to the practice of the national gender policy to advance gender justice.en
