The Clothesline Project at UMBC

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.

The Clothesline Project at UMBC is sponsored by the Women's Center on campus and takes place during, both, the fall and spring semesters every year. These t-shirts were made by the UMBC community and were displayed during November 2010.
