Join us as we begin the road to Bangkok, 5–9 October 2026, for the world’s largest conference on research and practice to end violence against women, violence against children, and other forms of violence driven by gender inequality, the SVRI Forum 2026.

At this special Launch Webinar, co-funded by the Australian Volunteers Program (AVP), you will:

• Hear from SVRI co-founder, Prof. Rachel Jewkes reflecting on over 20 years of SVRI and why Forum matters now more than ever.
• Meet our co-hosting partners – Southeast Asia GBV Prevention Platform; UN Women and UNFPA under the UN Joint Programme on GBV Prevention
• Listen to past participants share how Forum has transformed their work and networks, along with regional and global allies shaping the Forum with us.

We’ll talk about it all – the themes, the partnerships, the care, the learning, the wellness, the opportunities – and why Bangkok 2026 is where evidence meets action.

Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, activist, policymaker, funder, student or just curious to learn more – this is your invitation to be part of the journey.
