Sadly pregnant women and new mothers are still victims of domestic violence so the maternity unit can be a place to seek assistance.

I hope that she will still be able to keep up with her own work. I know she will have more responsibilities accompanying the King on engagements more than she used to, but Prince Philip was patron and actively involved in his own pursuits....so hopefully she will be able to as well.

This is an impressive gathering for one of Queen Camilla's most important causes with  two Queen Consorts, a Crown Princess and the Countess of Wessex in attendance.

Queen Camilla's speech today. IMHO it's very powerful and moving.

QuoteYour Majesties, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Buckingham Palace as we gather on the fifth of the ?16 days of activism against gender-based violence?.

These 16 days mark the UN?s annual campaign that runs from 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10th December, Human Rights Day. Throughout the world, individuals and organisations are coming together to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. Why?

Because over a period of 16 days, worldwide, more than 2,000 women will be killed by a partner or a member of their own family. Because, in England and Wales alone, during that same period, police will record that more than 3,000 women have been raped. And because up to 1 in 3 women across the globe will endure domestic violence in the course of their lifetime. Behind every one of these statistics lie individual stories of human suffering and heartbreak.

We are uniting today to confront, rightly, what has rightly been called a global pandemic of violence against women. Faced with such challenges, it can be hard to know what practical steps we can take to even begin to make a difference.

Over the years, in my previous role, I had the privilege of meeting many survivors of rape and domestic abuse; and of sharing in the sorrow of people who had lost family members to violence. And again and again, I heard that two of the most powerful ways in which to help were to remember and to listen.
We remember those women who have lost their lives at the hands of a stranger, or of the person who should have loved them best. In so doing, we refuse to be desensitised by cold facts and figures and we resolve to keep the names and the memories of these women alive. We remember Brenda Blainey, Mariam Kamara, Lucy Powell, Samantha Drummonds, Yasmin Begum, Sally Turner, Hina Bashir, Jillu Nash and her 12-year-old daughter Louise, to name but a very few of those who have been killed this year alone. And we remember - because we cannot forget - all the other women and girls who died in similarly horrific circumstances.

These women, tragically, can no longer speak for themselves. But we listen to those who can. I have learnt from my conversations with these brave survivors that what they want, above all, is to be listened to and believed, to prevent the same thing happening to others. They know there is power in their stories and that, in the telling, they move from being the victims of their histories to the authors of their own futures.

I have heard countless examples of the ways in which victims have become victors, using their experiences to hold out a hand to help others escape abuse. One such person, Vicky, left a violent relationship and her ex-partner was sent to prison. Knowing what it was like to live in permanent fear, she started working for the police, supporting victims and witnesses of crime. Today, she is an Independent Domestic Violence Adviser and says of herself, ?There is life after abuse. I am evidence of that?.

Ladies and gentlemen, your vital work is, in the same way, evidence that there is life after abuse. You are also evidence that we can have hope as we head towards our goal of ending violence against women and girls. Armed with that hope, let us press on. Let us not lose this precious opportunity to speak up and to galvanise action that will see the end of these heinous crimes forever. With determination and courage, we will succeed. Thank you.'

According to this article, Camilla's decision to involve herself with domestic violence organizations might come from her paternal grandparents' relationship.  :(

Camilla's grandfather beat his wife unconscious while she was pregnant with the new Queen's father, triggering their divorce... so is THIS secret

This thread is about the Queen's Domestic Violence Patronages.  Discussion of the Duke Of York belongs in his forum.
