The SVRI Forum 2015 is the ‘go to’ event in the field, bringing together over 250 researchers, activists, funders, policy makers, service providers, practitioners and survivors from around the world who are working to understand, prevent and respond to sexual and intimate partner violence. The 2015 Forum provides a platform for showcasing research and innovation in the field and learning about new and tested interventions on how to end sexual violence, intimate partner violence and child abuse and maltreatment.
The tracks and themes for SVRI Forum 2015 will focus on key debates and issues currently faced by the field:
-
What are the intersections of different forms of gender-based and other forms of violence across the lifespan and why do they matter?
-
What social norms are related to sexual and intimate partner violence, child abuse and neglect and how do we change them?
-
How should we evaluate social norm change interventions and other forms of prevention?
-
How can we integrate prevention and responses to violence into other sectors including health, education, social development, sports and justice sectors?
-
If we know it works, what does it cost and how do we scale up effective programs?
-
What works to prevent or respond to sexual violence in conflict, post conflict and humanitarian settings?
