Clothesline Project
April (Sexual Assault Awareness Month)
Clothesline 2024
The Clothesline Project is a nationwide participatory exhibit and a visual display designed to break the silence surrounding anyone who has been a survivor of gender-based violence and to illustrate the impact of this violence.
The exhibit is comprised of t-shirts designed by survivors of violence and their families and friends impacted by the violence perpetrated against their loved ones. Our goal of this project is to support survivors in bringing awareness to the many different types of violence present in our communities and working together on a collaborative response to prevent further violence from occurring to those we CARE about!
Statistics become individuals. Abstract ideas become real.
Make a T-shirt!
The making of a t-shirt can be a very liberating event. It breaks down the silence and isolation many feel and helps transform from victim to survivor. Each year, the UCI Community has the opportunity to create a t-shirt to show their support.
The CARE office invites all individuals of any gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, or ability status to participate in our campaign that has been personally affected by sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. Our goal for this project is to support survivors in bringing awareness to the many different types of violence in our communities and working with community members on a collaborative response to prevent further violence from occurring to those we CARE about!
