Sexual Violence Research Initiative Forum 2017

Posted on December 12, 2017

Presentation Summary: This presentation provided an overview of the 2017 Sexual Violence Research Initiative Forum hosted in Brazil. The presentation highlights the Forum’s key aims and outcomes, specifically celebrating the global recognition of the negative impact violence against women and children can have on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, SVRI’s abstract and science driven approach identified studies, projects, and informed qualitative data that demonstrated reduction in gender-based violence due to preventative interventions. Unfortunately, these improvements in GBV are fragile and the community of prevention must continue to advocate and remain political in order to sustain these critical gains in the field. The presentation closed with a look at the key issues that may affect the SVRI Forum in 2019 to be held in Cape Town, South Africa.
