Results suggest that while ethical issues may arise in the application of participatory visual tools in contexts of vulnerability, it is still possible to proceed without harm and to gain pertinent insight into this important issue. Qualitative studies with indigenous communities, in particular those that incorporate participatory techniques, can help to build a body of evidence about VAW that is directly informed by the people whose lives are under study.application/pdfenGENDER-BASED VIOLENCEPARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCHPARTICIPATORY VISUAL RESEARCHRESEARCH METHODSHUMAN SECURITYVISUAL COMMUNICATIONPHOTOVOICESEXUAL VIOLENCEETHICSRESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDINGINDIGENOUS WOMENGIRLSWOMEN’S RIGHTSSOUTH AFRICASOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
