5 College Clothesline Project

The 5 College Clothesline Project is an event which bears witness to the various forms of sexual violence that people experience. The project gives people an opportunity to break the silence about violence by creating shirts that give voice to their personal experiences. The shirts are then hung shoulder-to-shoulder on a clothesline for public viewing. The Clothesline Project honors survivors as well as victims of sexual violence and invites survivors, friends and family to design a shirt for display.

The 5 College Clothesline Project is brought to you by the Women's Health Project, Health Education Department, University Health Services.

"We Encourage Women to be Empowered by Their Choices."

The rain date will be on September 28th from 9:00 a.m. through 2:30 p.m.
