To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November, the association Stand Speak Rise Up, co-founded by Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, is organising a month-long series of events in Luxembourg and Paris to raise awareness of the issue.

The awareness month officially began on Wednesday, with a screening of the film 'Touchées' at the Utopia cinema, attended by the film’s director Alexandra Lamy.

In the run-up to the events, RTL had the opportunity to speak with Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.

She confirmed that she is continuing her advocacy for women and children affected by violence in conflict zones with the same dedication as before the abdication of her husband, Grand Duke Henri, as head of state.
