Welcome to the official National Network website of
The Clothesline Project
"Bearing Witness to Violence Against Women and the voice
from Cape Cod MA that started a movement around the world!"

 

The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. With the support of many, it has since spread world-wide. See this list of videos on YouTube. View the this Google Image Search.
