Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Forum

5-9 October 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand
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 dynamic and action-driven event brings together over 1,000 global stakeholders, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, funders, and activists, to share cutting-edge research, challenge the status quo, and co-create solutions for a world free from violence.
IDH presented "From Risk to Resilience: Using Cost Evidence to Mobilize Business Action on Gender-Based Violence in Agricultural Value Chains," sharing what we have learnt from the Women's Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF). Our key message: WSAF's value lies in combining a market-led approach with worker and community-led change. The business case and the cost calculator help mobilise companies and brands, and workers shape the solutions.
