The Clothesline Project is a national campaign that began in 1990 to address the issues of violence against women and sexual assault. The campaign is a vehicle for women and men affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating t-shirts in different colors to represent different types of violence.
  • Pink shirt - for survivors of sexual assault
  • Yellow shirt - for survivors of relationship violence
  • Blue shirt - for survivors of childhood abuse
  • White shirt - in remembrance of those lost to sexual assault or relationship violence
  • Purple shirt - for survivors of a hate crime
  • Red shirt - for men’s expression of intolerance of violence or male survivors

Staff from the university's office of Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention & Prevention will be out on Greene Street throughout March and April hosting live painting events. Stop by to show your support for survivors and paint a shirt to be displayed on the clothesline Monday, April 13.
