PAPER ASSIGNMENT #2: CLOTHESLILNE PROJECT

The Clothesline Project is a visual display dedicated to raising awareness about the reality of violence in our society. It is composed of t-shirts created by survivors of violence, or in honor of someone who has experienced violence.

The Clothesline Project originated in Hyannis, Massachusetts in 1990 when members of Cape Cod’s Women’s Defense Agenda learned that during the same time 58,000 soldiers were killed in the Vietnam War, 51,000 U.S. women were killed by the men who claimed to love them. It is a powerful witness of the violence many live with. The project began with 31 shirts. T-shirts are created and hung in public areas to “air our dirty laundry” by proving evidence that incest, domestic violence, and sexual violence exists in our communities. The display educates the community that violence is a problem everywhere, help is available, there is hope and a path to healing.

Your task is to write a 1000 word paper paying tribute to a woman, man, transgender, or child who has been victimized by sexual violence. You are to decorate your t-shirt to depict the person’s experience of sexual violence. You may use a person you know personally, your own personal story, or something from the media. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GET THE PERMISSION OF THE PERSON WHOSE STORY YOU ARE SHARING.IN ORDER TO RESPECT THE PRIVACY OF THE PERSON YOU HAVE CHOSEN, PLEASE DO NOT USE THEIR REAL NAME UNLESS THEY HAVE GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO DO SO.
