Abstract

The article discusses the challenges and opportunities faced when integrating participatory methods into human rights-based research. It describes the development of a participatory action research approach designed to fulfil the aim of undertaking advocacy-focused research grounded in human rights and community participation. It reflects the principles of anti-oppressive social work and the ethics of undertaking research with vulnerable populations. In line with other contributions to this special issue, the article explores questions such as: 'Where does knowledge about the story come from and how is it passed on?'; 'What spurs ethical thinking at an individual and organizational level?'; and 'How can ethical sensitivity and strategic effectiveness be combined?'. © The Author (2010).
