The Countess of Wessex has made a new appearance to take part in a virtual UN event for the elimination of sexual violence in conflict. Sophie took part in the live webcast on Friday, speaking alongside other special guests before hearing testimonies from Senior Women Protection Advisors from different countries on the implications and consequences of COVID-19 – and also joined Lord Tariq Ahmad in launching the UK's landmark 'Murad Code', which is intended to strengthen justice for survivors and prevent further traumatisation of survivors around the world.
