On 29 January 2026 (3pm SAST), Equality Insights Lab and SVRI introduced a new online course on adapting intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention interventions to new contexts, using the IPV-ADAPT+ Framework as a practical guide throughout the learning journey.

The team walked participants through each component of the program—which includes lectures, fireside conversations, and hands-on exercises—to unpack the key principles of adaptation, challenges and best practices. The program is designed for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers who want to learn how to carry out ethical, effective, and contextually grounded IPV adaptation processes.
