Reproductive Choice
Discussion Kicks Off
V-Week Activities
In honor of campus-organized V-
Week, Choice USA sponsored a panel
discussion Tuesday night entided “The
Intersection of Sexual Violence and
Reproductive Choices.”
The three panelists were Maria de
Bruyn, senior policy advisor of Ipas;
Krista Park, sexual education counselor
with Student Health Service; and Lucy
Melvin, founder and co-president of
UNC’s Choice USA and a rape crisis
counselor.
The panelists brought up such issues
as statistics on sexual assaults suffered
by women and pregnancies resulting
from such assaults, services offered to
students on campus to deal with sexu
al violence and social issues, and con
troversies surrounding abortion deci
sions.
Choice USA is a campus-oriented
national group whose aim is to educate
people on reproductive choice - from
abortion to adoption -and how to pre
vent unwanted pregnancy.
Choice USA worked in collaboration
with the Carolina V-Day Initiative to
put on this event during V-Week.
Carolina V-Day Initiative is a stu
dent-run organization promoting aware
ness of violence against women by
sponsoring V-Week, said Carolina V-
Day Initiative founder and event coor
dinator Kim Benton.
V-Week is composed of events focus
ing on women’s issues, concluding with
the performance of Eve Ensler’s play
“Vagina Monologues" at the end of the
week.
“Our basic purpose (of V-Week) is to
put on our performance of the ‘Vagina
Monologues,’” Benton said.
In 1999, Ensler extended the invi
tation to participate in V-Day to col
leges and universities all over the
world.
In accepting the offer, colleges are
required to donate money raised by the
performances to local organizations
working to stop sexual violence.
Calling it the “College Initiative,” 65
schools accepted Ensler’s proposal in
1999. UNC joined these and many
other schools, putting on its first perfor
mance in February of 2001.
Proceeds made from last year’s per
formance of “Vagina Monologues” went
to the Orange County Rape Crisis
Center. This year, the money will ben
efit the Family Violence Prevention
Center.
Monday’s event was one of several V-
Week events sponsored by Carolina V-
Day Initiative. It was a benefit concert
composed of several student dance and
musical groups as the week’s kickoff
event.

For the Record
The Feb. 12 article “Town OKs

grant the expansion or the request for
an expedited review. The request was
referred to staff.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the error.
