Are You Ready to Join the Global Fight Against Gender-Based Violence? The SVRI Forum 2026 is calling on researchers, practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and program implementers to share their groundbreaking work at one of the world’s most influential gatherings on violence against women, children, and intersecting forms of gender-based violence. But here’s where it gets exciting: This isn’t just another conference—it’s a platform to drive real, evidence-based change. And this is the part most people miss: Your work could shape global policies and practices, especially in low- and middle-income settings where the need is greatest.
About the Call for Abstracts
The SVRI Forum 2026 (https://www.globalsouthopportunities.com/) invites submissions that highlight innovative approaches, evidence-based solutions, and practical knowledge to prevent and respond to violence. This is your chance to contribute to a global dialogue that matters. Controversial question: How can we ensure that research from resource-constrained regions gets the attention it deserves on a global stage? We’re actively seeking answers through this call.
Key Features of the Call
- Rigorous Peer Review: Led by the SVRI Scientific Committee to ensure quality and impact.
- Focus on Impact: Emphasis on work that makes a tangible difference in real-world settings.
- Global Representation: Priority given to contributions from low- and middle-income countries.
- Diverse Presentation Formats: Oral, poster, panel, and short-format presentations available.
Types of Submissions
1. Single Abstracts:
Focus on a single body of work—research, program implementation, or practice-based knowledge. Ideal for standalone projects. Example: A study on community-based interventions to prevent violence against women.
2. Panel Abstracts (Group Submissions):
Explore a shared theme through multiple perspectives. But here’s the catch: Panels must demonstrate clear thematic coherence and diversity in contributors. Controversial point: Should panels prioritize interdisciplinary collaboration over regional representation? Weigh in below!
