CNN —A third of young men in Germany find it acceptable to use violence against women, according to a new survey which has caused outrage among gender equality campaigners.
The survey was commissioned by children’s charity Plan International Germany.
A group of 1,000 men and 1,000 women aged 18-35 from across Germany were asked to give their views on masculinity for the study, which was carried out online.
The survey also found that expectations within a relationship differed greatly between men and women.
A German group called the Federal Organization for Equality wrote on Twitter that the findings were “shocking.”“According to a survey by Plan International Germany, every third young man finds violence against women ‘acceptable’.
