Vojvotkinja od Saseksa, Megan Markl, odlučila je da ponovo posjeti mjesto gdje je ubijena studentkinja iz južnoafričkog grada Kejptauna, te je ovu posjetu opisala kao čin poštovanja prema ubijenoj djevojci.

Uyinene Mrwetyana (19) silovana je i ubijena u predgrađu Klermona prošlog mjeseca. Smrt studentkinje pokrenula je nekoliko protesta protiv velike raširenosti rodno zasnovanog nasilja u Južnoj Africi.

Ranije ove sedmice, vojvotkinja je posjetila poštu u kojoj je ubijena studentkinja, gdje je zavezala žutu vrpcu na kojoj piše "simi kunye kulesisimo", što u prevodu s lokalnog jezika znači "budimo zajedno u ovom trenutku", piše Kliks.

U jednoj objavi na Instagram nalogu princa Harija i Megan Markl stoji da je vojvotkinja posjetila spomen-obilježje s ciljem da ubijenoj djevojci "oda poštovanje i iskaže solidarnost s onima koji su zauzeli stav protiv rodno zasnovanog nasilja".

“Simi kunye kulesisimo” – ‘We stand together in this moment’ The Duchess of Sussex has tied a ribbon at the site where 19-year-old Cape Town student Uyinene Mrwetyana was murdered last month, to pay her respects and to show solidarity with those who have taken a stand against gender based violence and femicide. Over the last month in Capetown, protests erupted through the streets in outrage over GBV in South Africa. The Duke and Duchess had been following what had happened from afar and were both eager to learn more when they arrived in South Africa. The Duchess spoke to the mother of Uyinene this week to relay their condolences. Visiting the site of this tragic death and being able to recognise Uyinene, and all women and girls effected by GBV (specifically in South Africa, but also throughout the world) was personally important to The Duchess. Uyinene’s death has mobilised people across South Africa in the fight against gender based violence, and is seen as a critical point in the future of women’s rights in South Africa. The Duchess has taken private visits and meetings over the last two days to deepen her understanding of the current situation and continue to advocate for the rights of women and girls.

"Vojvoda i vojvotkinja pratili su izdaleka ono što se dogodilo i oboje žele da saznaju više kada stignu u Južnu Afriku. Vojvotkinja je ove sedmice razgovarala s majkom Uyinene te joj je uputila saučešće", piše u opisu fotografije.

U posljednjih nekoliko dana Megan Markl je bila u privatnim posjetama i organizovala je mnoge susrete kako bi naučila više o pravima žena u Južnoj Africi, piše Independent.
