The focus of “Working Together: Including children in research on violence against children” is not on if we will engage in participatory research, but instead on how we can best support meaningful research initiatives with children. With an explicit focus on research related to violence against children (VAC), the resource provides valuable guidance to researchers and policymakers, helping them understand how children’s participation in research adds value and rigor to the process of building sustainable violence prevention programming. It recognizes that a high ethical standard and an understanding of the ethical complexities involved in research specific to children is required. These materials will help you to overcome the challenges and barriers to children’s participation in research.
