The Duchess of Cornwall has expressed her readiness to extend her work on supporting female victims of violence by becoming a patron of Mirabel Centre, Nigeria’s first sexual assault referral centre.

Camilla, 74, is set to be announced as royal patron of The Mirabel Centre, a trailblazing organisation in West Africa that has provided free medical support, counselling and practical services to more than six thousand women and girls, as well as men and young boys.

The Duchess, who has made the issue of domestic abuse and sexual assault one of the cornerstones of her public work, said she was ‘delighted to do anything she could to help the centre in Lagos.
