Funded by the Oak Foundation, “the SVRI, in partnership with the International Centre, University of Bedfordshire, launched the Being Heard Project. A key component of this project was for SVRI to bring young people to the Forum and to develop a toolkit to guide the meaningful and ethical engagement of young people at SVRI Forums. The youth participants were aged 18-24-years old. This toolkit is primarily for use by the SVRI but also can be used by other organisations seeking to ensure meaningful and ethical inclusion of the voices of young people at international research forums and consultations on sexual violence or on topics of a similar focus. These may include conference and event organisers, researchers,academics, donors, government and non-governmental organisations.” This toolkit is “a resource for SVRI and others working in the field wanting to ensure meaningful and ethical engagement of young people at conferences or events.” (2018)
