Relief through Creativity: The Clothesline Project

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SAU chapter.


Recently, collegiettes™ may have seen the Clothesline Project displayed in the Rogalski Center. The idea is that women and children who have been victims of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence are invited to decorate T-shirts to share their stories. This particular shirt pictured is part of the Family Resources collection. Family Resources provides services in advocacy, education, family restoration, and social services, as well as volunteer opportunities.
