Clothesline project

"The shirts are hung side by side on a clothesline, as though the survivors were standing there themselves, shoulder to shoulder, bearing witness to the violence committed against women on a daily basis. The shirts are color coded: white for women who have died of violence; yellow or beige for women who have been battered or assaulted; red, pink, or orange for those raped or sexually assaulted; blue or green for survivors of incest or child sexual abuse; purple or lavender for women attacked because of their sexual orientation; and black for women handicapped by violence. The project encourages survivors to come forward to break the silence by creating shirts to share their stories." - Montgomery County NOW, Womanspace, Women's Center at VT, Women's Resource Center of the NRV
