It’s up to all men to end sexual violence: Duchess

The Duchess of Cornwall has called on all men to tackle a ‘‘deeply disturbing’’ culture of sexual harassment in the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder, saying ‘‘rapists are not born but constructed’’. The duchess, who is campaigning to lift the shame and stigma surrounding violence against women, condemned the notion that harassment was ‘‘part and parcel of being female’’ and ‘‘just one of those things’’. In her most pointed and passionate speech to date, the duchess spoke of the ‘‘unimaginable torment’’ of the women killed by men, and the families left behind.
