SVRI Annual Forum 2022
September 19, 2022 @ 8:00 AM – September 23, 2022 @ 5:00 PM EDT
The Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Forum is the largest global, abstract-driven research and advocacy conference on violence against women, violence against children, and other forms of violence driven by gender inequality. It brings together researchers, funders, practitioners, policymakers, activists, and survivors every two (to three) years to connect, learn and share.
USAID’s HEARD/ISC project is directly supporting two presentations: “The Power of Data to Action: Country Experiences and Lessons Following Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS)” and “Improving Wellbeing and Parenting Practices Among Refugees in Uganda: Effectiveness of the Journey of Life Intervention.”
The “Power of Data to Action” presentation, given by Together for Girls, will highlight findings from the HEARD-conducted landscape analysis of country experiences with acting on VACS data. It will be delivered as part of a panel on violence against children on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. local time. From ISC’s mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) portfolio, Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO) Uganda and Washington University in St. Louis will present on the Journey of Life intervention with a conflict-affected population living in Kiryandongo, Uganda. This is part of a panel on Parenting, Intimate Partner Violence and VAC on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2:30-4 p.m. local time.
