The Clothesline Project

Join the Women and LGBTQIA+ Center to write and display inspirational notes to victims/survivors of domestic violence. Come to decorate and hang up messages, while also experiencing community in the Women and LGBTQIA+ Center. Wearing purple is encouraged.

The Clothesline Project is an organization created to bring awareness to the issue of violence. For those who have been affected by violence, it is a means of expressing their experiences by decorating a t-shirt. After the shirts have been decorated, they are hung on a clothesline display. The intention of the display is to honor survivors and act as a memorial for victims. It is also intended to aid in the healing process for those who were directly affected and those who have lost someone special to this violence. Lastly, the clothesline display is to educate society and promote awareness about the extent of domestic violence in relationships.

On Thursday we wear Purple to Support the Victims/Survivors of Domestic Violence.
