Research
REACH has almost 20 years of experience conducting qualitative and quantitative desk and field research on labor and human rights issues in a wide range of countries across the Americas. Our experience includes designing tailored research methodologies and tools; carrying out desk research; conducting interviews with experts and vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations; data analysis; and drafting comprehensive, nuanced reports detailing findings and recommendations in both English and Spanish. We illuminate human rights violations and their root causes and develop research-informed recommendations to prevent and address these issues and their root causes.
It is essential to interview individuals who are directly impacted by human and labor rights violations in order to acquire information about their experiences and perspectives and the best ways to address the issues that they are facing.
Therefore, we have developed an innovative methodology to identify and interview victims of human and labor rights abuses, including migrants, in their home communities so that they can safely share sensitive information with a reduced risk of reprisals.
REACH is one of the foremost experts on field research on labor issues, especially forced labor and human trafficking, in the Americas. We have carried out research in over a dozen countries and ten sectors, including agriculture, fishing, extractives, construction, and services.
