During a speech to mark the UN Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in 2020, Camilla said everyone has a part to play in raising awareness of the problem, supporting and being inspired by survivors. In February 2021, Her Majesty, as Duchess of Cornwall, became Patron of SafeLives, a UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse. Camilla also visited Refuge and Women's Aid in the UK, and last year she hosted a reception at Clarence House to mark the 50th anniversary of Refuge. Over the years, she also attended roundtable discussions on domestic abuse abroad, including in Australia and New Zealand. Speaking at a Violence Against Women and Girls Event at #CHOGM2022, she said: "We, the women and men of the Commonwealth, stand with victims and survivors, who, despite the temptation to hide away in silence, speak up so that others know they aren't alone." When the coronavirus lockdown began and domestic abuse helplines saw a significant rise in the number of calls, Her Majesty shared a message of support for victims, including links to helplines and practical advice. For over 10 years, she has also worked to highlight organisations supporting victims of rape and sexual assault. While the reason why Camilla feels so strongly about the issue has never been fully explained, the Mail on Sunday claims that an episode of domestic violence in Camilla's own family could have encouraged her to work to support victims through her platform within the Royal Family.
