CSEA organizes a 2-Day In-House Workshop on Researching Sensitive Topics and Working with Vulnerable Populations
A workshop titled "Guidelines for Researching Sensitive Topics and Working with Vulnerable Populations" was held on January 22-23, 2025, at the CSEA conference hall in Abuja. The workshop was led by Sixtus Onyekwere, a Non-resident Associate (CSEA), PhD candidate at the University of Portsmouth and board member of the Centre for the Advancement of Equality , Gender and Inclusion Studies (AEGIS). The workshop included a thorough discussion of important research themes. Four key modules were covered: Trauma-Informed Care Protocols, Duty of Care, Principles of Continuing Consent and Assent, and Feminist Interviewing Techniques. The event fostered significant discussions through collaborative group work, role play and Q/A sessions, giving attendees invaluable opportunities to share and exchange ideas. The workshop also featured a presentation by Chisom Udora and Dr. Uche Anyamele on CSEA’s Gender Inclusion Index project. After the training, participants had a better understanding of best practices on researching/working with survivors of VAWG.
