[4] During October 2011-July 2102, Sehin carried out research into the situation of sex workers in Addis Ababa, carrying out "90 interviews, seven focus group discussions with sex worker women and their male partners, as well as two groups of male university students".

"[5] In February 2021, Sehin stated that Setaweet had recorded testimonies from victims of sexual violence in the Tigray War.

Sehin stated that Setaweet's documentation showed that rape was "happening on a large scale" and that "parents in Tigray [were] shaving their daughters' heads and dressing them 'as boys' to protect them from rape".

She interpreted Awol's use of the word "they" in relation to the protests as an ethnic "us-vs-them" attitude.

Sehin interpreted Awol's criticism of arrests made in relation to the protests as supporting the violence and of ignoring the evidence of the possible involvement of the Oromo Liberation Front in the murder.
