The spokesperson for the Cabinet Office on Education, Equalities and Women's Issues opened the event stating that progress had been made in terms of the standing of women in society, but “we are still away from a world in which women can live free from fear.” She continued to highlight women's central role as agents of economic change and development. Baroness Verma ended on the note, that women's empowerment shouldn't be about hating men. “The greatest things I could achieve was due to the help of men. Men need to be part of the solution.”
