By working across our four strategic pillars – building evidence, promoting partnerships, capacity strengthening and influencing change – the SVRI is building a stronger and kinder field that collectively works to deliver rigorous and ethical evidence for improved research, policies, prevention and response programmes; and, to accelerate systemic change in the way research on VAW and VAC is conceived, undertaken, funded, disseminated and put into action for concrete, measurable and sustainable change.
Research is essential to ensure that presented solutions are effective in improving services and reducing levels of violence experienced by women and children. Use the resources on this page to help you with your research and make sure your studies build on existing evidence, use rigorous and culturally appropriate methods, are feminist, ethically sound and have a policy, practice imperative.
The SVRI provides multiple platforms and opportunities for sharing research and knowledge. Help us to strengthen the evidence base by sharing your work with us and participating within and engaging with us on events.
