The SVRI Forum is the world’s leading conference on research, evidence, and solutions to prevent and respond to violence against women (VAW), violence against children (VAC), and other forms of gender-based violence (GBV).
Held every two years, this action-driven event brings together over 1,500 global stakeholders, researchers, practitioners, survivors, policymakers, funders, and activists to share cutting-edge research, challenge the status quo, and co-create solutions for a world free from violence.
SVRI Forum 2026 is co-hosted by the Southeast Asia Gender-Based Violence Prevention Platform and the UN Joint Programme, through UN Women and UNFPA. Together, we are building a global, inclusive, and collaborative space to strengthen evidence and advance action.
The SVRI Forum 2026 will be held at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre, Bangkok, Thailand from 5 – 9 October 2026
