“We cannot stop fighting until every woman and girl on this planet is free from violence, fear, and abuse.”
In an exclusive opinion editorial, Joe Biden , the 46th President of the United States writes for Glamour. Tonight, on the South Lawn of the White House, more than 1,000 survivors, advocates, and allies will gather to mark the 30th anniversary of the first comprehensive law addressing violence against women in our nation’s history: the Violence Against Women Act.
And, over time, we expanded access to sexual assault services on college campuses, invested in ending the backlog of rape kits, and increased protections for underserved communities. Every time we’ve reauthorized this law, I’ve worked across the aisle to strengthen it – as a Senator, as Vice President, and as President. Most recently, we secured the highest-ever funding of more than $700 million to implement the law’s programs.
