S2E1 The Power of Connecting

The Sexual Violence Research Podcast

Alone we cannot end violence against women and violence against children. Connecting with other researchers, funders, policymakers and survivors is an essential part of the work we do and we are passionate about bringing together multiple and diverse voices to embrace evidence and inform practice.

In this episode, we learn about the power of connecting ahead of the SVRI Forum which is taking place in Cancun in Mexico this September. We find out about the real world impacts of knowledge sharing. And in our increasingly digital world, we consider some of the future challenges and opportunities in this area.

Our guests are:

Kalliopi Mingeirou, Chief of the Ending Violence against Women Section at UN-Women in New York

Sylvia Owino, Regional Gender and Social Inclusion Officer at Ripple Effect, which teaches vital skills to farmers in rural Africa

Your hosts are:

Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI

Angelica Pino, Grants Manager and Capacity Strengthening Specialist, SVRI
