GLOBAL SEXUAL VIOLENCE 3

Global Sexual Violence

Research Question

My research question is global sexual violence. The issue is a worldwide pandemic that affects people across all genders but most severe among women and children (Butchart et al., 2015). The statistics don't lie, and the issue has proved to be harmful to individuals in that it leads to emotional, social, psychological, and even physical tortures to the victims.

Proposed Research design

In carrying the research, I will choose the cross-sectional research design. This research design is observational, where the researcher observes the sample population that is under study. In real life, the research design may be applied when a researcher wants to understand the effects a specific risk factor may have on the population they are studying over some time (Spector, s2019). The participants in this study are sampled centered on inclusion and exclusion standard. Once the researcher has sampled the population on review, they will proceed to understand the outcomes of the exposure of these individuals to the factor under study.

How Proposed Research Design Fits the Research Question

The research design fits my research topic of global sexual violence in that I will be gathering data regarding the many stories of the victims of the gross and inhuman behavior. Through their stories or earlier documented, I will be able to understand the effects that the torture may have brought to their lives. The method is suitable for the kind of research I am carrying out in that it avoids aspects of biases through how the sample population is selected.
