ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. — Gov. Tom Wolf on Friday announced the start of a statewide campaign against campus sexual assault modeled on an initiative of President Barack Obama.
The campaign will work to increase awareness and prevention efforts and to remove barriers to reporting assaults, Mr. Wolf told an audience at Elizabethtown College, southeast of Harrisburg.
“We are the first state to respond to President Obama’s call for a real crusade, a real campaign, against sexual assault,” Mr. Wolf said.
Mr. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden announced the initiative, called “It’s On Us,” which asks everyone to help stop sexual assault, in September 2014.
