In Focus: UN Trust Fund at the SVRI Forum 2024

From 21 to 25 October 2024, the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) held the world’s key research conference on violence against women (VAW/G), violence against children, and other forms of violence driven by gender inequality in low and middle-income countries, at the Cape Town International Convention Center in Cape Town, South Africa.  

This time, the UN Trust Fund was an official partner of the Forum and organized several events to amplify the voices of its grantee partners and showcased their inspiring work and invaluable expertise.
