(Continued from page 4) For survivors Because making a shirt is part of a heal ing process of violence, shirts should be submit ted by the survivor. If not possible, a shirt for a survivor should be submitted with her written permission. We ask that one respects the ano nymity by not using the name. Last name or hometowns are not required. We appreciate what ever information you or she would like to share. We respect all requests for confidentiality. Names of perpetrator Naming the perpetrator is an important part of the healing process, but for legal reasons, we cannot display shirts with full names of the perpetrators. We ask that shirt makers use first names or initials if they wish to name their viola tor. How it started: The Clothesline Project began in 1990 when members of the Cape Cod Women's Agenda hung a clothesline across the village green in Hyannis, Massachusetts, with 31 shirts designed by survivors of assault, rape and incest. Women viewing the clothesline came forward to create shirts of their own and the line just kept growing. Since that first display. The Clothesline Project has grown to 300-1- local Clothesline Pro jects nationally and internationally, with an esti mated 35,000 shirts. The Clothesline Project has become a distinctive resource for healing from violence and creating social change. Clotheslines have been displayed at schools, universities, state houses, shopping malls, churches, and women's events. The first National Display took place April 8-9, 1995, in Washington, D.C., in conjunc tion with NOW's Rally For Women's Lives. Similar to the AIDS quilt. The Clothesline Project puts a human face on the statistics of violence against women. The Clothesline Project increases awareness of the impact of violence against women, celebrates a woman's strength to survive, and provides an avenue for her to courageously break the silence. Families and friends of women who have died as a result of violence can make a shirt to express their deep loss.
