She has
expressed that she 'remains in chronic pain' from her decade-old experience of
rape, which took place before she became famous.
And now,
Lady Gaga has teamed up with the former United States Vice President Joe Biden,
to urge action against sexual assault.
The duo -
who are 'great friends' - appeared in a Public Service Announcement together
this week, as part of the It's On Us campaign, launched by Biden and former
President Barack Obama in 2014.
The program
declares war on sexual assault on college campuses - something Gaga, 31, says
is close to her heart.
Gaga has
previously revealed that she was raped by an older man when she was 19 but that
the issue had been 'swept under' with people quickly moving on to other topics
whenever she had brought it up.
'People
don't know this about me because I don't share it, and I know they see me as
this kind of celebrity that has success and money and the world watching and
that I must have no problems,' she said, following a performance at The Oscars
in 2016 that she did with survivors of rape.
At the
time, Biden had introduced her to the stage and encouraged viewers to sign a
pledge on the site itsonus.org.
