There was a project in London where we decided on where to donate £1000. The participants were EAs in London who have non-utilitarian ethical intuitions that equality / justice are intrinsically morally valuable. The result was a sexual violence prevention charity called ‘No Means No’ that runs education workshops in the developing world, and has a few RCTs that support their claims about impact.
Someone is also working on a write up of the evidence base behind ‘no means no’ but this is not ready for publication. If you are interested I can try to loop you in (PM me on Facebook: Samuel Hilton).
(Disclaimer / apologies: I have a lot on and have not read the whole article or the comments, it looks well researched so good job. But I just wanted to make sure you had seen this project as it maybe relevant for your research.)
Thanks weeatquince. Given problems like the replication crisis and publication bias, I am focusing on meta-analyses and review articles as my main source of information wherever possible. If I didn’t see any, I sought out multiple studies on the same topic and included them all.
So far, the results of these studies has been really poor when it comes to sexual violence reduction programs. Therefore, I’m feeling sceptical.
Until the research on a particular method has at least replicated, I cannot include it in the article. I’m sorry.
