The Sexual
Violence Research Initiative is proud to announce the 4th international
conference, the SVRI Forum 2015. The Forum brings together researchers, gender
activists, funders, policy makers, service providers, practitioners and
survivors from around the world and will showcase innovation to end sexual
violence, intimate partner violence and child abuse, and strengthen responses
to survivors in low and middle income countries. The SVRI Forum is a key
platform for sharing research, innovation and networking.
SVRI Forum
2015 will focus debate on the following key questions:
Abstracts
on all forms of sexual violence, intimate partner violence and child abuse and
neglect are encouraged, as are abstracts on:
A priority
for SVRI Forum 2015 is to promote equity in research and successful
north-south, south-south, and academic-practitioner research partnerships.
Researchers submitting abstracts for interventions are encouraged to try and
ensure their practitioner partners attend the Forum.
Encouraging
the participation of new and emerging researchers in the field is also a
critical part of SVRI Forums. We do this through the SVRI
Prize-Giving and Hall of Fame.
The SVRI
brochure is available in English and Spanish. Please feel
free to circulate this to your networks.

Call for
Participation
SVRI Forum
2015 brings together colleagues from around the world, under the theme of
innovation and intersections, to present papers, panels, posters, special
sessions and workshops, to discuss and network around scientific and practical
matters related to the prevention of, and response to sexual and intimate
partner violence and child abuse and neglect in a variety of settings among
different populations, in low and middle income countries.
Oral and
Poster Presentations
Oral and poster presentations describe a research project, or intervention that
talks to our theme; focuses on sexual, intimate partner and / or childhood
violence; addresses key debates current in the field among different
populations in different priority settings. The SVRI prioritises work
being undertaken in low and middle income countries. All abstracts undergo a
blind review process, and must not exceed 350 words. To submit an abstract for
a poster or oral presentation

Special
Sessions
Special sessions are your opportunity to innovate and experiment with the SVRI
Forum 2015 format. Possible sessions could include, for example, a seminar on a
new topic, a session on intervention development, scale up, adaptation; a session
for speed-networking; a seminar on different ways to present research and
complex ideas. They are generally around 60 – 90 minutes in length, held in
standard conference spaces and distinct from oral, poster or workshop tracks.
The form of a special session is yours to design. To submit an application to
hold a special session, click here.
Pre-Conference
Workshops, 14th September 2015
Pre-conference
workshops offer an opportunity to learn research techniques, new technologies
and interventions and to foster scholarship and collaboration. We
encourage expressions of interest to run workshops that focus on research
methodology, ethics, data analysis, research uptake, use of technology to
perpetrate/prevent/respond to violence, and other relevant issues. Participants
are charged a small fee to attend these workshops. To submit expressions
