The Vice President of the European Union Commission says violence against women indicates weakness of men.
Federica Mogherini says a society where women have the same rights as men is more secure and richer.
When women have no access to good education or to top jobs, we are only wasting their huge potentials, Mogherini says.
The EU Commission Vice President says they are cooperating with local leaders to eliminate female genital mutilation and forced marriage in South Sudan.
In ten years, the European Commission has helped 300 thousand girls get into secondary education, Mogherini discloses.
