The Clothesline Project is an awareness project, started in the 1990s by a group of ladies in Mass., raising awareness for violence that occurs within families, within relationships, through acquaintances, and those that we do not know. The Project is now nationwide and the Sexual Assault Prevention Program displays shirts and offers shirt-making opportunities.

T-shirts are made and donated by survivors, family members and friends, and anyone wanting to raise awareness about violence in Athens, Hocking and Vinton Counties. The shirts represent experiences of violence from individual lives. Each shirt tells a story of assault, abuse and violence that has occurred in a family, in a community and in a life.
