This article explores the tensions that can exist between participatory action research with young people and universities’ research ethics committees (RECs) requirements. It explores this through a case study of a peer-to-peer research project undertaken by young women in East London, and using our own experiences and perspectives, it argues that anonymity can be unjust, disempowering, and unnecessary, and can reduce “pride.”
