Participate in Clothesline Project
Posted on: 2/23/2015; Updated on: 2/25/2015By Student Editor 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.
