The International Summit on Ending Gender-Based Violence 2026 is a global convening and the fifth edition of this international gathering, bringing together survivors, advocates, policymakers, researchers, frontline practitioners, educators, and community leaders from around the world to advance practical, survivor-centered solutions to gender-based violence.
Building on the impact and momentum of the previous four convenings, including the 2025 Summit, the 2026 gathering moves beyond awareness and dialogue to focus on implementation, accountability, and systems change. The Summit will examine how global commitments, national policies, and community-based practices can be translated into measurable, sustained action at local, national, and international levels. Held during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, the Summit provides a platform for bold conversations, cross-sector collaboration, and global solidarity, while centering survivor dignity, prevention, and institutional responsibility. Through plenaries, panels, practice-based sessions, and skill-building workshops, participants will engage with evidence-informed strategies and collective pathways toward ending gender-based violence.
As its fifth convening, the International Summit on Ending Gender-Based Violence continues to strengthen global partnerships, deepen accountability, and support long-term change well beyond the Summit itself.
