Each year, the CARE office holds a rally on the UNCW Commons to raise awareness campus-wide about the effects of sexual assault and relationship abuse on our community. Speak-Out! (formerly Take Back the Night) will include music, personal stories, and a candle light vigil. Last year's gathering was incredibly moving and we hope you'll come out and show your support for survivors.

The White Ribbon Campaign - presented by One in Four
April 12th through April 16th - Campus Commons by the Library
The White Ribbon Campaign is an international effort of men and boys working to end violence against women. Its basic principle is the importance of men and boys to speak out against all forms of violence. Members of UNCW One in Four will be in front of the library handing out white ribbons to UNCW men so they can show their support for the cessation of violence.
Port City Rock Against Rape!
Saturday, April 17th from 8 pm to 2 am - all over Downtown
Presented by Coastal Horizons Rape Crisis Center
Port City Rock Against Rape is an annual benefit concert for the Rape Crisis Center of Coastal Horizons Center, Inc. in Wilmington, NC. Five years ago, local bands from the area put together the event for the very first time to support the Rape Crisis Center. Now, the event takes place all in one night at multiple bars, restaurants and pubs to raise funding and awareness. All of the money raised and donated from cover charges and/or bar proceeds at venues participating in RAR goes directly to the Rape Crisis Center - a nonprofit agency reliant on grants, fund-raisers and personal donations. Rock Against Rape is taking over Wilmington Saturday, April 17th. We’ll see you there!
Film Screening - Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes
Thursday, April 22nd @ 7 PM - UNCW Randall Library Auditorium
Presented by Coastal Horizons Rape Crisis Center and co-sponsored by UNCW's Women's Resource Center and CARE Office
An official selection of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes provides a riveting examination of representations of manhood in hip-hop culture. Director Byron Hurt, former college quarterback, gender violence prevention educator and longtime hip-hop fan, pays tribute to hip-hop while challenging the rap music industry to take responsibility for too often perpetuating destructive, deeply conservative styles of manhood that glamorize sexism, violence, and homophobia. This film includes interview with Russell Simmons, Mos Def, Fat Joe, Chuck D, Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes.
This film is at once gripping and educational in its fearless, unflinching engagement with issues of race, gender violence, and the corporate exploitation of youth culture.”
