Abstract

In this chapter we outline the details of the study. We explain the methodological decisions around methods, recruitment, and analysis. This chapter shows clearly the trauma-informed design which underpins this study given the subject of sexual violence. We detail the ethical principles of the project which is reinforced through the participatory action learning approach. The interviews conducted are explained and the cross-national survey. We also share the full socio-demographics of both the survey and interviews for full transparency and cross reference with the content of the book.
