Bloomington Group Helps NFL With Domestic Violence

A national organization based in Bloomington will team up with the National Football League to address domestic violence.

Reports indicate, the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence signed on to work with the NFL to review and ramp up its policies regarding sexual assault and domestic violence. The organization helps companies develop policies and training that raise awareness and prevention of domestic violence in the workplace.

Kim Wells, executive director of the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence, says what people see are the players every week.

She adds there are 1,000 men and women who work for the NFL. Our work on the policies is to keep everybody safe

The NFL's effort coincides with a recent viral video that shows Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice physically assaulting his then-girlfriend. The incident occurred at an Atlantic City casino in February. He has since been charged and suspended for two games.

The NFL was one of the organization's founding corporate partners when it was established in 1995.
