Abstract

With the advent of the Sustainable Development Goals, there has been a rapidly expanding base of sexual and reproductive health-related research amongst refugees. Sexual and reproductive health is a complex domain of study with many highly sensitive topics and research amongst migrant populations, and particularly women refugees, carries high risk of re-traumatisation and potential to do further harm, however unintentional on the part of the researcher. In this chapter we discuss some interlocking and overlapping conceptual, methodological and ethical considerations when conducting sexual and reproductive health-related research amongst refugee populations in sub-Saharan Africa, drawing on regional learnings and providing illustrations and recommendations from our own research amongst women refugees and asylum seekers in South Africa.
