Former vice president Joe Biden, who wrote the Violence Against Women Act in 1994, describes how he’s continuing his crusade with It’s On Us, a campaign to end sexual assault on college campuses that issues a call to action this month
When I had the great honor of serving as this country’s vice president, my responsibilities took me around the world and back again. But nothing was more important to me than continuing my life’s work to end violence against women. This is a battle I’ve been fighting for more than 20 years—since before I wrote the Violence Against Women Act that was passed in 1994—and it’s one I thought we’d been winning. Since 1994, domestic-violence rates have dropped by 63 percent. Rape crisis centers, battered-women’s shelters, and survivor hotlines have sprung up across the country. But it seems like time has stood still on college campuses.
