ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses a feminist approach to sensitive research. It describes the designing of a research approach to accommodate the cultural sensitivity of reproductive health research with sex-trafficked women in Nepal. It discusses the inspirations of ethnography and participatory action research and/or feminist research methods and feminist theory for methods, research analysis, and writing. It then reflects on how this then applied to Nepali culture to find arts-based methods – clay and photography – as a place to begin from the perspectives of the women. It then describes the new CERM, which was designed for the research.
