S1E12 How To Conduct Research on Violence Against Women Ethically

The Sexual Violence Research Podcast

Ethics must be considered ahead of any research which addresses violence against women. Safety is of paramount importance when working with vulnerable women, many of whom may have experienced violence or indeed may still be experiencing violence. All researchers in this space have an absolute duty of care to these women.

In this episode we learn about some of the critical components of designing an ethical research programme. We find out about the unique risks and challenges faced in this field of research, and how to address them. And we discover how research is evolving and adapting to the growing use of remote studies, and online technology.
