Dear Esha and all,
You write: "Perhaps, the survey could add an option for clarification of the contextual variable(s) in the form itself to help respondents globally to justify their response as intertwined with diverse individual, organizational and national human “rights” that run through the heart of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals"

First, thank you for being one of the 12 HIFA members who came forward to test the survey. Thanks to you, we now have a version that is ready for public release in August.
We weren't able to include contextual variables in the survey, but there will be a complementary in-depth discussion on the issues here on the HIFA forum (and on our French, Portuguese and Spanish forums). This will be an opportunity for us to deep-dive into the issues, and to challenge each other dynamically in ways that cannot be achieved by rapid surveys.
Many thanks, Neil
