From March through July 2021, a co-design scoping process has been conducted with 53 informants (primarily in the Mekong Region, also global) to identify how a platform or digital solution could support women’s voices and stories to be shared.
From March through June, data has been gathered through semi-structured interviews, through long and short questionnaires, and through email conversations. Questionnaires, interview protocols, ethics support, and project background and information have been housed on the webpage: https://knowledgecocreation.org/related-projects/
