Obama Appoints a Domestic Violence Adviser



WASHINGTON -- A longtime advocate for victims of domestic violence and
sexual assault has been named to a new post advising the White House on
those issues.

Vice President Joe Biden announced the appointment Friday of Lynn Rosenthal,
an expert in domestic violence policy. The White House said she will advise
President Barack Obama and work with government agencies to ensure that
violence against women isn't ignored and the perpetrators are held
accountable.

A former director of a women's shelter, Rosenthal was executive director of
the National Network to End Domestic Violence from 2000 to 2006. And she
worked as director of the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
