Grammys Message: 'End Violence Against Women'

US President Barack Obama delivered a video message on Grammy Awards night, February 8, calling on music artists and fans to end violence against women and girls with the “It’s on us” campaign.

“Right now, nearly one in five women in America have been a victim of rape or attempted rape. More than one in four women have experienced some form of domestic violence. It’s not OK, and it has to stop,” said Obama.

Obama called on Grammy artists – who “have the unique power to change minds and attitudes” – to encourage their fans to stand up to violence against women. Credit: YouTube/White House
