DEI Statement

The Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR) is committed to antiracism, diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice within our scientific community and society at large. We strive to build a community of injury and violence prevention scientists, practitioners, and advocates who encourage and celebrate diverse voices and promote authentic engagement, equitable research and empowered participation. We denounce racism, sexism, ableism, other isms, intolerance, discrimination, white supremacy, and all forms of oppression and violence. We are committed to achieving just social, political, and cultural systems where all people feel safe, invited, accepted, and respected, regardless of their background, identity, or affiliation.
