Connect-Share-Learn: Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Forum 2026 Will Be Held In Thailand
SVRI Forum 2026, a space where the field comes together. It’s the largest and most influential global gathering dedicated to research on violence against women, violence against children, and other forms of gender-based violence, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries.
It’s more than just a conference, SVRI Forum 2026 is where researchers, practitioners, survivors, donors, policymakers and other connect and reconnect, share knowledge, challenge ideas, and spark new collaborations.
Set to take place in the vibrant international hub of Bangkok, Thailand, the Forum will be a space for deep conversations, unexpected partnerships, and the kind of learning that only happens when diverse voices come together with a shared purpose.
Abstract submission opens August 2025
Abstract format and content
Abstract length is up to 350 words with a working title of up to 10 words.
An abstract is a window into your work. In 350 words or less your abstract should provide abstract reviewers with a clear and concise summary of what you will present on at the conference. Try to make your abstract enticing, using plain language. Succinctly outline why the study is important, how you did your study, how your programme was evaluated, your findings, why the reviewer should care about your work, and how it is important for the field.
It is the only information a reviewer will have about your work so it must provide enough information to stand on its own.
