S1E3 Global Shared Research Agenda

The Sexual Violence Research Podcast

Funding in the field of violence prevention is often misdirected, with research agendas set by people far removed from the communities the research is meant to serve. The Global Shared Research Agenda is set to change that. It’s the first time the voices of practitioners, researchers and activists have sat centred and equal alongside academics and other specialists in the field. The GSRA is a collaborative effort, facilitated by the SVRI and Equality Institute, with support from funding partners Wellspring Philanthropic Fund and Sida. The GSRA has brought together a diversity of voices, and in this episode we find out why that’s so important, and we uncover the top research priorities in the field, identified by the GSRA. Hear from guests Emma Fulu, founder and executive director of The Equality Institute, Tina Musuya, executive director of The Center for Domestic Violence Prevention in Uganda, and Tesmerelna Atsbeha, senior programme officer on the women’s rights team at the Wellspring Philanthropic Fund.
