Clothesline Project
The University shows support for victims of dating and domestic violence by sponsoring the Clothesline Project. The Clothesline Project is a visual display of violence statistics that often go ignored. Each shirt is made by a survivor of violence or by someone who has lost a loved one to violence. The color of each shirt represents a different type of violence.
- Black represents those attacked for political reasons.
- Blue represents survivors of incest or childhood sexual abuse.
- Pink represents survivors of rape or sexual violence.
- Purple represents those attacked due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
- White represents those who have died as a result of violence.
- Yellow represents survivors of physical violence or domestic violence.
History
The Clothesline Project originated in Hyannis, Massachusetts in 1990 when members
of Cape Cod's Women's Defense Agenda learned that during the same time 58,000 soldiers
were killed in the Vietnam War, 51,000 U.S. women were killed by the men who claimed
to love them. The Clothesline is made up of t-shirts created by survivors of violence,
or created in honor of someone who has experienced violence. It is a powerful witness
of the violence many live with. The project began with 31 shirts.
