CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C- Campbell River is once again taking part in the Clothesline Project.
The project is an initiative that started 28 years ago in Massachusetts, it’s aimed at getting the word out about violence against women.
A display of colour-coded t-shirts decorated by survivors is set up for people to see.
Blue and red t-shirts represent sexual abuse, yellow or beige t-shirts represent abuse by a partner, a white t-shirt represents murder, purple represents assault because of sexual orientation, and a green t-shirt represents children who have been affected by violence.
The shirts act as testimonies to the issues.
Men can show their support for the Clothesline Project as well by adding a tracing of their hands to a white sheet that has “These Hands Don’t Hit” written on it.
They will be displayed in Spirit Square for everyone tomorrow from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
