Nicole Kidman gave a heroic and timely presentation before Congress last week that set an example for what ESPN reporter Erin Andrews should do with her new-found heightened celebrity in the wake of the "peephole" incident.

Erin Andrews recently closed a difficult chapter in her life with the arrest of her alleged peephole stalker Michael David Barrett, who reportedly followed her to different hotels to make "peephole" videos of her in the nude.

During the period of time that the videos were bring thrown around the Internet, and showed in part even by CBS, Erin Andrews did not use the spotlight given to her to speak out on issues of concern to women, specifically violence against woman.

As I wrote before, if Erin's serious about making sure other women aren't treated in the way she was, she should speak out about it.

Instead of doing anything beyond talking to Oprah (nothing wrong with that, Erin Andrews let GQ Magazine release a racy photo spread that was done in April before the peephole scandal started. She should have blocked it to make a powerful statement.

I think Nicole Kidman would have backed Andrews. Before Congress, Kidman said "Violence against women (Worldwide) is not prosecuted because it is not a top government and urgent social priority. We can change this."

But it takes more voices than just that of Nicole Kidman, even though she is the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. That's where celebrities like Beyonce, Erin Andrews and Megan Fox and Meghan McCain can make a real difference.

What's needed is a massive day where women make a statement of action against violence against women. Nicole Kidman's voice should not be the only one out there.
