Abstract

SVRI’s Annual Report for 2024-2025 highlights the significant milestones, achievements, and lessons learned over 2024, in which solidarity has been our strongest tool. Nearly everything we achieved this year was rooted in partnership and community, overcoming together the growing funding challenges and the backlash against science, especially against feminist and gender equality research. The report details SVRI’s efforts in advancing research, policy, and programming through our four pillars of work: building evidence, strengthening research capacity, promoting partnerships and influencing change.
