Camilla, 74, will soon be announced as the royal patron of the Mirabel Centre, according to the MailOnline. The non-government organisation provides free medical support, counselling, and practical services to over 6,000 rape and sexual violence survivors.
According to Mirabel’s website, the youngest survivor they have supported was just three months old and the eldest was an 80-year-old woman.
The Duchess of Cornwall said she is “delighted” to be joining the organisation, which is based in Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos.
Camilla 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.”
