Spanish term or phrase:Violencia contra las Mujeres en Honduras: una reflexión en el camino
This is the title of a study that I am translating. I am looking for a more graceful way of translating the second part (after the colon.) I know that "en el camino" is often figurative so I'm looking for some creative ideas on an equivalent English phrase. Thanks!
Explanation: ongoing: adjective: currently happening (Example: "An ongoing economic crisis") http://www.onelook.com/?w=ongoing&ls=a
------
Establish an ongoing perspective of working children within the policies and programme approaches of the various NGOs, INGOs and UN structures working on the issues of child labour, and their contribution to the lives of working children, as well as look at the areas where these organisations might
need to improve in the future.

Thanks for all the answers and comments. I went with "Violence against Women in Honduras: A continuing path of reflection." I'm not completlely pleased with it, but I think it's an accurate representation of the original meaning. Joss' point about the term "camino" having spacial meaning led me to keep "path" as the metaphor. All in all, it's not perfect, but the fact that I'm on deadline and it's not for publication, led me to just decide and move on! Thanks again for all the input - it helped a lot! 3 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
