Hewarned that we have yet to change social norms and attitudes that allow the violence to happen first and foremost, vice President Biden opened the summit by speaking about the progress that is made in reducing annual rates of domestic violence.

womenThe vice president challenged men to get involved in cultural change. He said that his efforts would be a success when no victim blamed themselvesfor the violence theyhad experienced. Essentially, while promoting girls selfworth of color, and utilizing the talents of all women, president Obama gave an inspirational address about the progress that had been made towards gender equality on many fronts, called for action on issues like equal pay.
