TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Towards ethical international research partnerships in gender-based violence research: insights from research partners in Kenya JO - Violence against women A1 - Weber, Sanne A1 - Hardiman, Margaret A1 - Kanja, Wangu A1 - Thomas, Sian A1 - Robinson-Edwards, Nicole A1 - Bradbury-Jones, Caroline SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Research with survivors of gender-based violence in low- and middle-income countries is important to improve understanding of experiences of violence and the policies that can help combat it. But this research also implies risks for survivors, such as re-traumatization, safety concerns, and feelings of exploitation. These risks are magnified if research is undertaken by researchers from high-income countries, whose positionality produces power inequalities affecting both participants and research partners. This article describes the ethical challenges of international gender-based violence research from the perspective of Kenyan researchers and organizations and identifies recommendations about how to prevent them.
