The SVRI along with UN Women, APC, and the Global Partnership hosted a discussion at the NGO CSW67 on the current research priority setting process to create a fair, effective, and relevant research agenda on TFGBV.

How do we ensure research in the area of violence against women and violence against girls leads to meaningful change? Ensuring that research has impact is often neglected for a whole range of reasons, including lack of consideration, time and funding.

The report explores the specific nuances of feminist research on violence against women in development and humanitarian settings – with a view to identifying the challenges facing feminist researchers in these contexts and how to best support and advance this work.

This guidance document is designed to support a variety of stakeholders to adapt Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) prevention programs for different populations and contexts.

The webinar recording and materials are now available online.

Faith and spiritual leaders are often deeply trusted and hugely influential people in the heart of their communities. In this episode, we consider the role religious leaders can play in ending violence against women and violence against children.

SVRI Forum 2022 brought together researchers, funders, practitioners, policymakers, activists, and survivors to connect, learn and share.

As the world’s use of technology grows, so too does its role in facilitating sexual violence against children. In this episode we consider the real-world impacts of technology facilitated violence against children, the research that is happening in this area and what tech platforms and governments can do to counter this threat.

The Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) envisions a world free of violence against women (VAW), violence against children (VAC) and other forms of violence stemming from gender inequality.

Thank you to all of our members who help to ensure SVRI Forum remains the go-to event for the field. We look forward to seeing you at SVRI Forum 2024, October, in South Africa.

Available presentations can now be accessed online!

This Research Topic is designed in partnership with the SVRI Forum (19th-23rd September, 2022) to welcome studies aligned with their mission to increase and strengthen action-oriented research and its uptake to improve and expand prevention of violence against women and children globally.

Engaging men and boys in violence prevention programmes can produce real world benefits. This strategy - to be successful - has to be implemented in an ethical and accountable way and centred on women and girls experiences and needs. It cannot be implemented just for the sake of involving men and as a silver bullet to end violence.
