Democracy Houses’ Annual Clothesline Project

Content Warning: The information posted contains topics of sexual assault and violence.

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Democracy House will be hosting a virtual “Clothesline Project” event. The Clothesline Project is an artistic display to address the issue of sexual and relationship violence that often goes ignored.

The creation of shirts to hang up in a “clothesline” is to increase awareness of the impact of violence and abuse, to honor a survivor’s strength to continue, and to provide another avenue for them to courageously break the silence that often surrounds their experience. Anyone can participate and show their support.

Register with the link below before April 26, receive your virtual t-shirt and decorate!
