Brief description
This session will remind participants of key ethical issues in research with human subjects and elaborate on specific aspects that must be taken into account in research on sexual health. The areas of violence against women, FGM and sexuality research will be used as examples, and participants will have an opportunity to examine additional guidelines for research in these areas. The second part of the morning will be used for a group exercise in elaborating an informed consent form on the basis of research protocols on violence against women and FGM.
