Sexual Assault Awareness Week
April 13, 2015 @ 8:00 am - April 17, 2015 @ 5:00 pm
Free
Sexual Assault Awareness Week is a time to support survivors in our community and come together to break the silence surrounding the issue of violence. By uniting together, we will stand up and work to end the violence that happens everyday. Like and learn more on the Facebook page!
Clothesline Project
Displayed throughout the week in various prominent locations, including in front of the Hahn University Center
The concept is simple – let each woman tell her story in her own unique way, using words and/or artwork to decorate her shirt. Once finished, she would then hang her shirt on the clothesline. This very action serves many purposes. It acts as an educational tool for those who come to view the Clothesline; it becomes a healing tool for anyone who make a shirt – by hanging the shirt on the line, survivors, friends and family can literally turn their back on some of that pain of their experience and walk away; finally it allows those who are still suffering in silence to understand that they are not alone.
