During the conversation, Christa Cocciole cites Marie-Celine Schulte: "The researchers need space and grace to navigate ((gender-based violence)) research within their own capacities and as they know best in these high-risk contexts. We need to keep supporting them in protecting and managing their emotional and physical safety and wellbeing at every stage of the study.”
