United States Vice President Joe Biden has been a strong force in the fight against s*xual assault, and he’ll be on hand to place a huge spotlight on the issue during the 2016 Oscars.
Biden is set to introduce pop star Lady Gaga on the big night- the eccentric performer is slated to perform the Oscar nominated ‘Till It Happens To You’.
The song, nominated for ‘Best Original Score’, was featured in the documentary ‘The Hunting Ground’, which deals with the ever present menace of rape on school campuses across the states.
The White House announced the Vice President’s upcoming appearance, and also noted that he would use the platform to promote the government’s ‘It’s On Us’ campaign, also against s*xual assault.
The 88th Academy Awards night comes off on February 28, 2016; at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Joe Biden would be accompanied to the event by his wife, Dr Jill Biden
