The SVRI, with the support of the Kering Foundation, is offering doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships for early-career researchers based in low- and middle-income countries. These fellowships aim to build leadership, strengthen research capacity, and advance knowledge on the often over-looked links between violence against women and violence against children.
In 2026, we will award four fellowships – two doctoral and two postdoctoral – to support locally led research that is impactful, sustainable, and grounded in the realities of low and middle-income countries. This initiative is part of a multi-year research programme by the Kering Foundation, in partnership with SVRI and McGill University – to address violence against women and violence against children.
