Inthe process, teams may be able to clarify misinformation,identify gaps in communication channels, and discuss how toensure access for all to information services, as well as toanalyse specific risks and violations of rights in greater detail.Household discussions also present opportunities to visitrefugees with disabilities or other house-bound refugees intheir homes.Method 3: Focus group discussionsA focus group is a group discussion which enables analysisand understanding of a selected topic on the basis of thecommon characteristics of the group (gender, age, ethnicity,socio-economic status, etc.). Meeting with groups of refugeestogether, under the guidance of a facilitator, is useful not onlyfor gathering numerous views simultaneously, but also forobserving the interchanges between and among differentparticipants. Like semi-structured discussions, focus groups,when conducted properly, can provide important qualitativeinformation and an initial analysis of the protection risks facedby women, girls, boys, and men in the community, as well asthe capacities and resources that exist within the community toenhance protection.It is important to conduct focus groups separately with womenand men of all ages, starting from age 10 and up, becausewomen, girls, boys and men of different ages and backgroundsexperience both similar and different protection risks and canaccess and benefit from services and resources differently.Separate focus group discussions may also provide insightsinto cultural practices, traditional protection mechanisms and3

A facilitator needs to remember that thereis no right answer to a given question and that the discussion anddisagreements among participants are as valuable and informativeas the answers of particular individuals.3
