TIPS FOR MEASURING RELATIONS AND LAWS & POLICIES
- Use power mapping or analysis tools to understand relations in multiple relevant spheres: e.g. relations between partners/spouses or between parents and children in the family, relations between peers, and between girls and boys, as well as relations at the community level, and relations with private and public authorities and/or service provides (in market or state arena).
- Use qualitative research to understand the quality of relations, including positive features (equity, trust, reciprocity, support), and a reduction of negative features (reduced levels of conflicts and threats of violence)
