Data Privacy: an ethical dilemma

Between 2010 and 2015 several thousand asylum seekers repatriated from Israel back to East Africa. Some returned with the help of NGOs, who claimed to only assist with repatriation that was entirely voluntary and informed. To see if this was true, and to learn about conditions after return, Mollie Gerver interviewed 154 individuals in South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda. During the course of her research, she experienced an ethical dilemma, which she discussed in a recent article in the journal Ethical Theory and Moral Practice.
