Abstract
The SVRI’s bi-annual Forums provide researchers, practitioners and others with a platform to share and disseminate methodological experiences and research findings, and a dynamic space for participants to network, share lessons, link research with policy and practice and disseminate new and exciting research in the field. The SVRI proudly hosted its first international conference on sexual violence in Johannesburg, South Africa from 6-9 July 2009. The theme of the SVRI Forum 2009 was “Co-ordinated Evidence- Based Responses to End Sexual Violence”. This unique global event brought together almost 200 people from over 28 countries to debate, discuss and share ideas and innovations for research on sexual violence.
