Although the end goal of much research is to better understand phenomena and generate new knowledge, there is no reason to stop there. Participatory action peace research can leverage inquiry in a process that brings different parties together to learn, share, and ultimately listen to another side of an issue. Recent work in Cambodia bringing together different groups of minority girls and young women through a participatory action research design not only generated new data and analysis on intersectional issues faced by girls, but also facilitated a conduit of relationship-building that has resulted in unified advocacy and deep friendship. In the push for a more inclusive society in which minority girls are equally heard, this work is an example of how the process-side of participatory action research can foster the relationships needed to better advocate within a positive peace context and bring issues of social justice to key stakeholders through unity built on mutual understanding and new friendship.

尽管许多研究的最终目标是更好地理解现象并产生新知识，但没有理由就此止步。参与式行动和平研究可以在一个过程中利用调查，将不同的各方聚集在一起学习、分享并最终倾听问题的另一面。最近在柬埔寨开展的工作通过参与式行动研究设计将不同群体的少数族裔女孩和年轻妇女聚集在一起，不仅产生了关于女孩面临的交叉问题的新数据和分析，而且促进了建立关系的渠道，从而导致了统一的倡导和深厚的友谊。在推动建立一个平等听取少数族裔女孩的包容性社会的过程中，
