Small contributions, big impact!

The SVRI Forum 2024 is more than a conference, it’s a movement towards equitable knowledge sharing and collaboration to end violence against women, violence against children, and other forms of violence driven by gender inequality.

At the heart of the Forum is a commitment to ensuring that brilliant minds from all corners of the world, especially those from low and middle-income countries, can contribute to and benefit from this global exchange of ideas.

The reality, however, is that many researchers and practitioners are often (unintentionally) sidelined because of the high cost of attending international conferences. Despite the SVRIs persistent efforts to fundraise for bursaries, they are limited, given the substantial costs of supporting bursaries and organising an event of this scale.

This is where you come in, and where individual support can truly make a monumental impact.

When you donate to the SVRI Forum 2024, you’re doing much more than providing financial support. You’re opening a world of opportunity for researchers and practitioners. Your generosity allows their voices to be heard, and ensures that they can share their insights, learn, and network on a global stage.

Here’s the difference your donation makes:

• Bursaries for attendance, travel and accommodation: Your contributions are used towards bursaries for those from low and middle-income countries who would not otherwise be able to attend and benefit from the full 5 days of conferencing.
• Capacity building: Skills and knowledge gained at the Forum empowers researchers and practitioners to have an impact when they return to their communities.
• Support for translation services: A portion of your contributions may also be allocated towards providing translation services at the conference, ensuring everyone has equal access to share and gain knowledge, in the spirit of language justice.
