Clothesline Project - Free at Last! -
The Clothesline Project is a program that addresses violence against women, especially, but not exclusively, domestic violence. (Domestic violence affects men, too. While more women and children are victims than men, men are also victims of domestic violence.) The Clothesline Project, which started on Cape Cod, MA, allows affected women a way to express what has happened to them. Many times, however, friends or family members decorate a shirt for the local Clothesline Project in memory of someone who has died due to abuse.
NOTE: If you or someone you love is a victim of domestic violence/abuse, please seek help. If that person is in immediate danger, dial 9-1-1 (if available in your area), or have the emergency police number memorized for immediate help. In the U.S., help can also be obtained by calling 1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224 or on the web at
