The White House has launched a new sexual assault awareness campaign aimed at male college students. The campaign - called "It's On Us" - has teamed up with 200 colleges around America to encourage bystander intervention and stop sexual assault before it happens.

The campaign has launched this week with a star-studded PSA including Kerry Washington, John Hamm and Rose Byrne. Wearing branded It's On Us hoodies, the celebrity stars urge college students to stand up, to not look the other way and to get in the way before it happens.

American President Barack Obama ends the powerful video, encouraging students to take the 'It's On Us' pledge for themselves.
