This is a watershed moment for the NFL to prove itself. A nation is watching whether the league will act superficially to maintain women’s market share or make a real difference to change behaviors and improve women’s health and safety. It only needs to reach out to a large community already working to prevent violence against women. At the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, for example, our researchers work to safeguard women and girls worldwide: through smartphone apps that warn of ominous relationship signs; a Domestic Violence Enhanced Visitation Program (DOVE) to protect women and babies; on empowering women caught up in violence in the Congo. We and the entire nursing community stand ready to help. Nurses are oftentimes the only ones that women feel comfortable reaching out to in a medical setting. All of us have a responsibility to reject and prevent violence against everyone, particularly those who are most vulnerable, and unfortunately this is often women and children. Stopping violence against women will require sustained and multifaceted approaches across society. We all need to challenge not only the attitudes and behaviors that allow violence against women to occur but also address the factors that support and enable it. We call on the NFL to lead this important culture change in the United States. Patricia Davidson, PhD, MEd, RN, FAANDeanThe Johns Hopkins School of NursingDean Davidson is an Australian citizen
