Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict — a moment to reflect on the devastating impact of conflict around the world, with women and girls often most at risk of harm. The Duchess of Edinburgh has long been a passionate advocate for the vital role that women play in peacebuilding and drawing attention to the issue of conflict-related sexual violence that continues to be perpetrated around the world. Her Royal Highness has met survivors, peacebuilders, medical professionals and changemakers across the globe — from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Kosovo, South Sudan, Lebanon, Chad and beyond. Through listening, learning and lending her voice, The Duchess continues to shine a light on the courage of survivors and the urgent need for global action.
