while human rights feminism is embedded in women and human rights and the different strands of feminism are continually influenced through General Recommendations(GR). There are many intersectionality points manifested in the CEDAW and which account for inequality. There is a call to take a break from feminism which asks feminists to reflect on their own power and role in terms of speaking for and in behalf of women. This is viewed not as harmful but more creative and it asks us feminists to nuance what they want to do further in the service of women. On the participatory nature of research Atty. Abrina (CHR-R10) also asked for the comment of the speaker on the impression that participatory research is problematic. Atty. Rubin (CHR GEWHRC) pointed to one of the CHR mandates which is to fulfill their work in a participatory manner. Dr. Laguilles-Timog recognized that doing participatory research can really take a long time and can drastically change research objectives or design along the way. She, however, drew a distinction between participatory approach and participatory method. For her participatory method is better and easier to achieve while using, for instance, participatory action research (PAR) as an approach can be more complicated. On cultural considerations in conducting research Mr. Omir Jesus B. Cacho (CHR-R01) raised that awareness and familiarity of the culture and language of the people in the area should be included in the considerations f0r conducting interviews along with preparing and practicing asking questions. He sees this as an important factor which can make or break the conduct of research. Dr. Laguilles-Timog responded in that the assumption is if there is already a decision on which method to use, the researcher have done literature review and preliminary investigation of the site to structure the research method. As such, in preparing the questions, the culture has already been considered as knowledge of culture and corresponding nuances is essential. On template for informed consent Ms. Mary Janice Ceneta (CHR-R05) first commented that the discussion was very valuable to their work. She then suggested that a template for informed consent form for the participants be proposed and, if approved, will be the standard for CHR central and all regional offices. 32
