Ethical Considerations Willingness to be interviewed was an important criterion because of the political climate surrounding the issue of EJK at the time of data gathering. Although most of the women were previously interviewed by the CHR for purposes of investigation and legal assistance, it was not assumed that they will consent to another interview, this time more focused on the impact of the killing on their lives, their families and communities. It was also made clear in the recruitment of participants to the study that they will not be prejudiced with regard to CHR assistance if they did not agree to be interviewed. Of the 53 interviews, eight women did not want their interviews audio recorded, although they were comfortable with the researcher taking down notes during the interview.
