Prince Charles’ wife calls for more engagement in the fight against sexual violence. It is important that women and men are involved in the topic.
Duchess Camilla (74) has called for more commitment in the fight against sexual violence against women. It is important to break a “culture of silence”, said the wife of heir to the throne Prince Charles on Wednesday evening in London, as the BBC reported.
It is also important to involve men and get them to change their attitudes. “It takes the whole community, men and women, to eradicate the lies, words and deeds that promote a culture in which sexual assault is considered normal,” said the Duchess of Cornwall at the start of the Shameless project, which the Wants to change attitudes towards sexual violence.
Camilla referred to the murder of Sarah Everard from London, which shocked her. On average, a woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK, Camilla said. Victims of sexual violence and their relatives suffered “unimaginable agony”. A high proportion of the harassed women do not report the acts – out of “shame”, emphasized Queen Elizabeth’s daughter-in-law. “Often this feeling of shame leads to the victim blaming himself, wrongly assuming responsibility for the crime and trying to hide from others – and yet she has not done anything wrong.” Camilla demanded that victims should be supported.
