Together, the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) and the Equality Institute (EQI), with support from funding partners
and the field, have drawn on the wisdom of the crowd, to set research priorities for the next five years for fair, effective and relevant research on violence against women (VAW).

The top five questions in order of overall ranking are:
1. What types of interventions can effectively prevent multiple forms of
violence, and why?
2. What types of interventions are most effective for preventing intimate
partner violence (IPV) (including ‘honour’-based violence) against women
facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination (including age,
poverty, disability, ethnicity, race, sexuality)?
3. How are new feminist social movements (eg Me too, Ni una menos) and
meninist social movements (Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs), incels etc) [1]
positively or negatively influencing individual, social and policy perspectives
related to the experience and perpetration of violence?
4. What interventions work to prevent sexual harassment in institutional
settings (in-person or online), including in the workplace and educational
settings, and why?
5. What are the impacts (including disability-related impacts) of under-
researched forms of IPV on women and girls, including emotional and
economic IPV, revenge porn and ‘honour’-based violence?

[1] Meninist social movements advocate for men’s rights and are often in opposition to feminism, or support the belief that feminism victimises men. For example, incels (who are predominantly men) comprise members of one type of meninist social movement or subculture.
The term refers to being an ‘involuntary celibate’ or unable to find an intimate partner despite wanting one, with corresponding blame being placed on women.
