This event provides a unique space, bringing together several UN agencies, government officials, civil society organizations, global researchers and other experts in the field of preventing and responding to violence against women and girls to exchange experiences and explore ways to implement effective and promising practices to address VAW in LAC. Organised by UN Women in partnership with PAHO, UNFPA and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), this meeting also provides an opportunity to discuss ways in which we can improve mechanisms for sharing evidence generated outside of the LAC region with those colleagues working in LAC and vice-versa, including through mechanisms such as the SVRI Forum 2017, which will take place 18-21 September, Rio de Janeiro in 2017.
