SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Section 1314 of the 

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) 

Reauthorization Act of 2022, Public Law 

117–103, div. W, 136 Stat. 840, 936–38 

(2022), requires the Secretary of 

Education, the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services, and the Attorney 

General to establish a joint interagency 

task force to be known as the ‘‘Task 

Force on Sexual Violence in Education’’ 

(hereinafter the Task Force) to provide 

information and recommendations, 

solicit information from relevant 

stakeholders, and create a plan to 

address sexual violence in education. 

The Biden-Harris Administration 

remains committed to preventing and 

responding to gender-based violence, 

including sexual violence in education, 

wherever it occurs and in all of its 

forms. 

Specifically, the Task Force is to 

provide recommendations to 

educational institutions on: establishing 

prevention and response teams; 

providing survivor resources, including 

health care, sexual assault kits, sexual 

assault nurse examiners, culturally 

responsive and inclusive standards of 

care, trauma-informed services, and 

access to confidential advocacy and 

support services; best practices on 

responses to and prevention of sexual 

violence and dating violence; sex 

education, as appropriate, training for 

school staff and various equitable 

discipline models; and culturally 

responsive and inclusive approaches to 

supporting survivors. The law defines 

‘‘educational institution’’ as ‘‘an 

institution of higher education, an 

elementary school, or a secondary 

school.’’ 

The VAWA Reauthorization Act also 

directs the Task Force to solicit periodic 

input from a diverse group of survivors, 

trauma specialists, advocates from 

national, State, and local anti-sexual 

violence advocacy organizations, 

institutions of higher education, and 

other public stakeholders. The goal of 

this request for information is to ensure 

the Task Force is receiving feedback and 

input from a diverse group of 

stakeholders.
