Developing a shared research agenda on child sexual violence (CSV) in low and middle-income countries

The Shared Research Agenda on Child Sexual Violence (CSV) for Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) is a set of research priority recommendations for addressing the global problem of CSV, with a focus on environments with limited resources. These priorities have been identified through a transparent, methodologically sound, comprehensive and inclusive process. It aims for both global inclusivity and emphasis on voices from LMICs and vulnerable and marginalised populations to involve those often not represented in such important decision making processes. A diligent approach was applied that emphasises decoloniality, collaboration and collective power.

This report is the result of an 18-month co-creation process to identify research priorities for child sexual violence (CSV) over the next 5-10 years by SVRI, in collaboration with Together for Girls, WeProtect Global Alliance, Safe Futures Hub, and the Brave Movement.
