Politics

This mini-dossier shows three contributions from Southeast Asia that have originally been published as part of the project “Masculinities in Asia: What About the Boys?”. The contributions from Cambodia, Indonesia and Singapore, share the intimate works that explore masculinities through personal journeys. Kong Sreynou examines how rigid gender norms reinforce harmful stereotypes and calls for redefining masculinity to advance equality. Bonnibel Rambatan’s sequencial art and Marylyn Tan’s poem invite us into stories of pain, growth, and transformation – where gender becomes a canvas for reflection and resistance.
