Research on VAW and VAC must be conducted with appropriate measures to address ethical and safety considerations.
Key ethical and safety considerations include:
- Is the research necessary? Does it address a gap in the field? Does it build on existing evidence?
- Do the benefits of the research outweigh the risks to both the participants and the communities?
- Confidentiality must be protected and informed consent gained.
- The safety of women and children in the study and the researchers must be prioritised.
Key guidelines developed for the field and supplement the recommendations in the International Ethical Guidelines for Health-related Research Involving Humans, Prepared by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), 2016, include:
