Since 2017 the Sexual Violence and Health Research Network has brought together survivors, clinicians, advocates, researchers, students and others working in the field of sexual assault and abuse. The network provides a supportive and multi-disciplinary forum to discuss health-related research on sexual violence. The SVaHRN meets annually to share innovative research, introduce works in progress and participate in active discussions on the intersection of health and sexual violence.
This year’s research day will be hosted virtually by the University of Wolverhampton with organising support from the Havens SARC (King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust), University of Bristol, St Mary’s Centre and King’s College London.
Who should attend: Researchers, faculty, students, clinicians, practitioners, advocates/community organisers, voluntary sector professionals working in the area of sexual or gender-based violence, survivors and patients with an interest in research.
