Methodology

Approach

Research grounded in ethical practice, methodological rigour, and a commitment to centering the voices and experiences of those most affected by human rights violations.

Qualitative and Archival Research

Drawing from in-depth interviews, oral histories, and lived experiences alongside careful examination of historical records, documents, and institutional archives to build comprehensive narratives grounded in both personal testimony and documented evidence.

Survivor-Centred and Ethical Research Design

Centering dignity, informed consent, and trauma-informed practices throughout the research process. Every methodological decision prioritises the wellbeing, agency, and autonomy of participants, ensuring research does not retraumatise or exploit vulnerable communities.

Policy Analysis and Institutional Review

Systematic examination of legislation, regulatory frameworks, and accountability structures to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities for reform. Analysis connects lived realities with institutional mechanisms to strengthen human rights protections and enforcement.

Stakeholder Engagement

Building collaborative relationships across NGOs, government agencies, and community organisations to ensure research translates into meaningful action. Fostering dialogue between diverse actors to create sustainable pathways for advocacy, policy change, and community-led impact.
