Unlocking Global Action: SVRI Forum 2026 Calls for Your Insights
Are you ready to make a difference in the fight against gender-based violence? The SVRI Forum 2026 is your chance to contribute to a global movement. This prestigious event is now accepting abstracts from researchers, practitioners, and advocates worldwide, aiming to spark discussions and drive change.
But what's the catch?
Call for Abstracts: Your Gateway to Impact
The SVRI Forum 2026 invites you to share your expertise and experiences through abstract submissions. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or a passionate advocate, your work can shine here. The forum seeks evidence, practical insights, and innovative ideas to address violence against women, children, and the complex intersections of gender-based violence.
Here's the twist:
Rigorous Review, Global Reach
Your abstract will undergo a meticulous peer-review process led by the SVRI Scientific Committee. This ensures that only the most impactful and ethical work is showcased. The forum emphasizes contributions from low- and middle-income settings, giving a voice to those often underrepresented.
And the opportunities are diverse:
Abstract Categories: Find Your Fit
- Research/Programme/Practice-Based Abstracts: Share a single body of work, be it research, program implementation, or practical insights. These abstracts are judged on their individual merits, and selected submissions may be grouped into thematic panels.
- Panel Abstracts: For a more collaborative approach, submit coordinated abstracts exploring a shared theme or research question from multiple angles. Each panelist contributes an individual abstract, creating a rich tapestry of perspectives.
But here's where it gets interesting:
Submission Process and Guidelines
Abstracts are submitted via Oxford Abstracts, a user-friendly platform. The process is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Abstracts should be clear, concise (350 words max), and self-explanatory, covering the purpose, methods, findings, and relevance of your work.
A few key points to remember:
- Only one abstract per study or project is allowed for panel submissions.
- SVRI may adjust panels to ensure a diverse and impactful program.
- Ethical considerations are non-negotiable, with abstracts lacking sufficient ethical review potentially being rejected.
Presentation Formats: Your Choice, Their Decision
You can indicate your preferred presentation format, such as oral presentations, poster presentations, or short research study talks. The final decision rests with the Scientific Committee, ensuring a balanced and engaging program.
Abstract Review: What Sets You Apart?
Abstracts will be evaluated on several criteria, including relevance to key themes, clarity of objectives, rigorous methodology, significance of findings, and practical contributions to future research and policy. The context and ethical considerations of your work are also vital.
And this is the part most people miss:
More Than a Conference: A Global Movement
SVRI Forum 2026 is not just a gathering; it's a catalyst for change. Fundraising efforts aim to make the event accessible worldwide, enhance participation from diverse regions, and maximize its impact on global policy and practice. By submitting your abstract, you become part of this powerful initiative.
