Golden West College is participating in the national Clothesline project during Sexual Assault Awareness Week. The t-shirts were hung on the clotheslines in the Central Quad on Monday, April 25 and will be on display until Friday, April 29.
What is the Clothesline Project?
The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women (and men) affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. With the support of many, it has since spread world-wide.
