Defending Dignity A Manual for National Human Rights Institutions on Monitoring Economic, Social and Cultural Rights UPDATE FROM AHN Ahn reviews the list of preliminary indicators she has identified. She concludes that she should be able to find most, but not all, of the data she needs through desk research. She puts together a list and a timeline of all the tasks she will need to carry out to complete her research, including to: • Download all relevant data that is publicly available from online sources (e.g. from the websites of relevant government ministries, international organizations) • Source copies of relevant government policies, plans and programmes, as well as relevant evaluation reports • Request relevant government ministries (e.g. Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance) and municipal governments to provide her with data that is not publicly available • Collect primary data from indigenous women • With the assistance of a statistician, analyse the data collected to answer the research questions.
