No, she’s not being called the Queen of England, if that’s what you’re thinking. Camilla Parker Bowles is now the patron of Nigeria’s first sexual assault center. The Duchess of Cornwall has described the Mirabel Centre in the nation’s capital as a “truly trailblazing organization. Here’s what you need to know.
Camilla, who has a long-standing commitment to highlighting the work of domestic abuse and sexual assault charities in the UK and overseas, says that she was delighted to become their first ever patron.
Camilla Parker Bowles Has Just Been Given A Prestigious New Title
The center has provided free medical and psychosocial support to more than 6,450 survivors, ranging in age from a three-month-old baby to an 80-year-old woman.
She said: “It is a truly trailblazing organisation, supporting survivors of rape and sexual assault as they seek healing and justice. Their vital work means that women need no longer suffer in silence and I am deeply grateful to all Mirabel’s wonderful staff and volunteers.”
Itoro Eze-Anaba, who founded the centre when working on domestic violence issues as a lawyer, said: “This announcement is timely considering the devastating nature of sexual violence and the increased advocacy for survivor support services which has led to an increase in the number of survivors who require the services of the centre.
The current Covid-19 pandemic has further revealed the endemic nature of sexual violence. We have seen a huge number of children and women coming forward to report cases of sexual assault and rape. We are confident that the support of the duchess will make a difference.”
Camilla will be working with Nigerian and British Nigerian women to find ways to help the Mirabel Centre over the coming months.
