About the Gender Based Violence Hub

In 2021, the JLI and the SVRI combined efforts for a new iteration of the Faith and GBV Hub for joint evidence and learning.  The Secretariat is based at SVRI as it is ideally placed to promote, support, and strengthen research collaborations on religion, faith and GBV with an emphasis on LMICs, led by researchers in LMICs, and to provide new opportunities to mainstream this work into the wider research field.
A Leadership Council includes those who work within the faith and violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) fields and represent different perspectives, experiences, constituencies, and geographical diversity. The Leadership Council provides guidance on the strategic direction, projects and programmes of the Hub. Leadership Council members serve in their individual capacity and we are grateful for their time and commitment to providing guidance and recommendations to the Hub and our planned activities.
