American Administration Has Accepted That 20% Students Are Sexually Assaulted At College Level To strengthen the criminal justice system, White House Task Force Has Been Established
In his weekly address, President Barack Obama said that the Administration has taken another important step to protect women at college by establishing the White House Task Force on Protecting Students from Sexual Assault.
An estimated 1 in 5 women is sexually assaulted at college, and the President said that we will keep taking actions like strengthening the criminal justice system, reaching out to survivors, and changing social norms so that all Americans can feel safe and protected as they pursue their own piece of the American dream.
. Obama Said”we need to keep saying to anyone out there who has ever been assaulted: you are not alone. We have your back. I’ve got your back. I’m going to keep pushing for others to step up – across my administration, in Congress, in state capitals, college campuses and military bases all across our country. This is a priority for me, not only as President and Commander-in-Chief, but as a husband and a father of two extraordinary girls. And I hope it’s a priority for you. Because here in the United States of America, every man and woman, every girl and boy, has the right to be safe and protected and to pursue their own piece of the American dream.”
