The Clothesline Project is a vehicle for those affected by sexual assault and other violence to give voice to the often horrific and sometimes unspeakable experience. Any person who has experienced violence, and their family, friends, and allies, is invited to create a shirt, which serves as a visual reminder of the violence perpetrated against those in our community. Each t-shirt color is symbolic of the type of violence experienced, and provides a visual representation of solidarity and strength. Shirts are displayed annually during Sexual Violence Awareness Month.
