Description

The Learning Network’s 2026 Virtual Forum (LN Virtual Forum) will bring together practitioners, researchers, and advocates to examine how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is both contributing to gender-based violence (GBV) and reshaping practice across the GBV and allied sectors. 

The LN Virtual Forum aims to create an evidence-informed, Trauma- and Violence-Informed (TVI), and survivor-centered space for exploring AI-enabled forms of GBV and the implications for practice, prevention and response across the GBV and allied sectors.

Learning Objectives

By attending this LN Virtual Forum, participants will:

• Enhance understanding and awareness of how AI is being used as a form of GBV and its intersecting impacts.
• Increase awareness of how AI is shaping GBV practice, prevention and response.
• Apply a TVI lens to discuss implications of AI for survivors, persons causing harm, practitioners, and communities.
• Build shared “AI literacy” across the GBV sector, supporting informed conversations about ethics, sector concerns and responsible use.
• Support calls for equitable, accountable community- and survivor-centered approaches to navigating and responding to AI.
