Lady Gaga has connected with former Vice President Joe Biden to raise awareness for sexual assault victims. The pair appeared together at a women's rights summit in New York earlier this week and reps for the former VP said they should be unveiling their collaborative project soon.

"Women who are abused end up having long-term physical and physiological problems," the former vice president said in response to an audience question about rape on college campuses at Glamour's Women of the Year Summit in New York City on Monday. "I'm working with Lady Gaga now . . . we [want to] set up trauma centers where women can go to get the long-term help they need to deal with these crises . . . We finally are recognizing the long-term impacts on the health of women and men who've been abused. It's the next great frontier I want to be part of."

"The Vice President and Lady Gaga share an interest in addressing the long-term physical and emotional effects of trauma and they have been discussing what to do about it," a spokesperson for Biden tells EW. "Their discussions on how to move forward are in the early stages."
