It’s the human rights issue of our time,” he said. Biden made fighting sexual assault one of the key issues of his vice presidency, [speaking out](http://time.com/4363084/joe-biden-standford-sexual-assault/) for victims and [calling on universities](http://time.com/4433667/joe-biden-campus-sexual-assault-presidents/) to be more responsive. It’s not yet clear how Trump’s administration will approach the issue, but the president-elect’s [comments about groping women](http://time.com/4523755/donald-trump-leaked-tape-impact/) and the [accusations](http://time.com/4531872/donald-trump-sexual-assault-accusers-attack/) against him of [sexual assault](http://time.com/4530242/donald-trump-sexual-allegations/) have caused concern among advocates for victims. “I’ve never felt this momentum before,” Biden said Thursday. “I hope and pray—and I’m making no judgment, I mean this sincerely, I’m not sure what the next administration will do—I pray they will continue to make it a priority, as Barack and I have. But whether they do or not, we can do so much of this as private citizens.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4624845/joe-biden-donald-trump-campus-sexual-assault/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4624845/joe-biden-donald-trump-campus-sexual-assault/"},"headline":"Joe Biden Says He's Working to Convince the Trump Administration to Prioritize Sexual Assault Prevention","datePublished":"2017-01-05T23:51:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T02:34:50.193Z","description":"\"I pray they will continue to make it a priority, as Barack and I have\"","url":"https://time.com/4624845/joe-biden-donald-trump-campus-sexual-assault/","keywords":["White House","Joe Biden","College","Donald Trump","campus sexual assault","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt250bf2175205ac47/6988b4980b72e322176ec2ec/joe-biden-campus-sexual-assault.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt250bf2175205ac47/6988b4980b72e322176ec2ec/joe-biden-campus-sexual-assault.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"John Glenn: Celebrating a Life of Service","caption":"John Glenn: Celebrating a Life of Service","creditText":"Bill Ingalls—NASA/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4624845/joe-biden-donald-trump-campus-sexual-assault/","name":"Joe Biden Says He's Working to Convince the Trump Administration to Prioritize Sexual Assault Prevention"}}]}] ```
