Clothesline Project - Free at Last!

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 http://www.thehotline.org/.

Clothesline Project

Clothesline Project - Some of these photos have been posted on this blog before, as well as in the documentary archives of Robin Shwedo Productions.

The Clothesline Project started in 1990 on Cape Cod, MA to bring attention to domestic violence.

PLEASE NOTE: If you, or someone you know is being abused and/or otherwise affected by domestic violence, please call for help. Call 911 where available (or, if you're outside the U.S., your local emergency number); if your area does not have 911, try to memorize the local police emergency phone number. Other numbers are here: Hotline Phone Numbers

Domestic Violence Hotline:

800.621.HOPE (4673)

Crime Victims Hotline:

866.689.HELP (4357)

Rape & Sexual Assault Hotline:

212.227.3000

TDD phone number for all hotlines:

866.604.5350

You can also check out The National Domestic Violence Hotline or call the hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224. (If you're being abused, be aware that computer use can be monitored, even if you shut the computer down. If you're able to check from a safe computer - at libraries, computer cafes, a friend's computer - that can be a great option.)

One of the clubs at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg brought part of the Clothesline Project to the USFSP campus several years ago. The first few photos are from USFSP.







This is part of the group that brought the Clothesline Project to USFSP. THANKS, EVERYONE!



The remainder of these were taken at a park in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Clothesline Project

Clothesline Project - Tampa Bay - Pinellas County, Florida - There are numerous chapters of the Clothesline Project across the United States. Each article of clothing - usually a shirt - is hand decorated by domestic violence survivors or their next-of-kin to remember those who have died because of domestic violence. Each shirt commemorates a victim and/or survivor.
