VIII. SESSION 6: COACHING AND SHARING OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE (GBV) MAPPING METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS MS. NANCY E. PARREÑO GBV Observatory Consultant The presentation reiterated the proposed GBV framework and corresponding data requirements, data gathering methods and data sources used in the GBV observatory pilot implementation. While it was emphasized that the framework has an evolving nature, this framework is a useful reference for the regional GBV mapping. Through this project, research then is seen as an investment for policy and action. Key to a good research implementation is the data and documentation. For this, it is important to build relationship with the research participants. Research ethics dictate that part of the action will be to refer a gender based violence case to an appropriate mechanism and to raise consciousness and appreciation of rights. The discussion proceeded with an enumeration of what were done in the field during the almost one year of pilot mapping, as summarized in the table below.
