The Clothesline Project is an annual visual display of t-shirts made by survivors and secondary survivors of gender-based violence. It is displayed in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which falls in October. The intention behind the project is to honor survivors and raise awareness about the prevalence of gender-based violence to the campus community.
Survivors and supporters are encouraged to stop by the Women’s Center Multipurpose Room (SU Room 417) anytime between 5:00pm-7:00pm on Friday, October 11th to create a t-shirt of their own in a private and safe environment.
T-shirts will be displayed on Fairfield Way on Thursday, October 17th and Friday, October 18th from 10:000am-2:00pm.
