Higonnet, who is on a four-day leave from her position in Sulaimaniya, Iraq, called the project a qualitative rather than quantitative data collection effort aimed at providing a forum for victims to speak about their experiences with this taboo subject and at leveraging their stories to create a political space to advocate change. “We are a small team and we need the faculty and students of academic institutions like Harvard to be researchers, web designers, pro bono translators and lawyers,” said Higonnet...
