“This country has been appalled and saddened by the loss of women to violence this year. On average, one women is killed by a man every three days,” she said.
Speaking at the Shame! Festival, the Duchess asked the audience to join her in paying tribute to the “precious lives” that have been “brutally ended” and urged society “to do everything we can” to end violence against women.
Back in September, the Duchess of Cornwall was named the new patron of Nigeria’s first sexual assault center, the Mirabel Centre. 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.
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.”
