Description

Photograph of women holding shirts from the Clothesline Project at the University of North Texas, held by UNT Special Collections. The image shows three young women each holding up a t shirt with their hands. The woman on the left holds a red shirt that says "Every woman who thinks she is the victim of violence has to know that there are many more." The woman in the middle holds an orange shirt that says "When you come to your stand still...I'll pray you take one more step." The woman on the right holds a pink shirt that says "Sister, you do not know me but we know me but we know each other and I love you." The Clothesline Project was started in Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women and serve as a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions. The Clothesline Project takes place multiple times during October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Students and community members may create a shirt which allows each survivor to tell their own story, allowing those who are still suffering in silence to understand they are not alone.
