The correct word for sex without consent is rape. Period. #ItsOnUs to know the signs and to stop it.

3. It is a video produced by the "It's On Us" initiative.

Today at the White House, President Obama joined Vice President Biden and Americans across the country to launch the “It’s On Us” initiative -- an awareness campaign to help put an end to sexual assault on college campuses.

It's On Us asks everyone -- men and women across America -- to make a personal commitment to step off the sidelines and be part of the solution to campus sexual assault.

"An estimated one in five women has been sexually assaulted during her college years -- one in five," the President noted. "Of those assaults, only 12 percent are reported, and of those reported assaults, only a fraction of the offenders are punished."

4. Violence against women is one of the signature issues of his new foundation.

...."We have got to change the culture," said Biden, who authored the Violence Against Women Act and eventually ushered it to passage in 1994.

Biden also notes in the video that he will continue his "cancer moonshot," an effort kicked off by the Obama administration and approved by Congress last year. The effort is a personal crusade for Biden, whose son Beau died after a long fight with brain cancer.

"We are at an inflection point in the fight against cancer that didn't exists four or five years ago," Biden said. "We can change people's lives."

In total, the foundation will have seven areas of focus: Foreign policy; Biden's cancer initiative; community colleges and military families; protecting children; equality; ending violence against women; and strengthening the middle class." (More at link)
