Ethics and Research with Vulnerable Populations
Description
Join the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM) for the second webinar in the Reclaiming Knowledge Production series.
The initiative aims to foreground the voices, lived experiences and expertise of communities and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) practitioners in research and knowledge production.
This webinar will explore the ethical challenges of conducting research with and by 'vulnerable' and structurally excluded communities.
Drawing on real-world research experiences, speakers will discuss how to navigate ethical requirements, address power imbalances, safeguard participants' rights and ensure that ethical review processes support rather than hinder inclusive, community-led research.
The discussion will bring together researchers, advocates and community representatives to share practical strategies and recommendations for strengthening ethical research practices and navigating Institutional Review Board (IRB) requirements.
The webinar is open to all, particularly researchers, SRHR practitioners, community-led organisations, advocates and IPPF Member Associations.
