Where research, collaboration, and innovation converge
Welcome to SVRI Forum 2026, a space where the field comes together. It’s the largest and most influential global gathering dedicated to research on violence against women, violence against children, and other forms of gender-based violence, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries.
More than just a conference, SVRI Forum 2026 is where researchers, practitioners, survivors, donors, policymakers and other connect and reconnect, share knowledge, challenge ideas, and spark new collaborations.
Set to take place in the vibrant international hub of Bangkok, Thailand, the Forum will be a space for deep conversations, unexpected partnerships, and the kind of learning that only happens when diverse voices come together with a shared purpose.
