People passing through Wilson Commons may have seen the laminated paper chain of little t-shirts strung along the walls of Hirst Lounge over the last two weeks. Those shirts represent the Title IX Office\u2019s iteration of\u00a0the Clothesline Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Clothesline Project was started in 1990 when founder Carol Chichetto hung a clothesline with 31 shirts designed by survivors of domestic abuse, rape, and childhood sexual assault across the village green in Hyannis, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

UR \u201chas participated in the Clothesline Project since the early 2000s,\u201d organizer and Associate Director for Sexual Misconduct Prevention Education and Response, T Street, told the\u00a0Campus Times<\/i>. \u201cOur University is just one of many that host this event annually in April, during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM).\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting in March, the Title IX Office tabled every two weeks in Wilson Commons, providing paper t-shirts and markers for anyone who wanted to add to the collection.<\/p>\n

UR\u2019s Title IX Office gave out paper shirts instead of real ones as they\u00a0did in past years<\/a>, which enabled them to keep the exhibit up for longer. They also encouraged all UR community members to make shirts \u2014\u00a0not just women<\/a>. There were several shirts espousing non-female victims.<\/p>\n

Like the national project, the office does not censor any of the shirts regardless of content \u2014 all were displayed\u00a0 to \u201cuphold our community members\u2019 lived experiences and create solidarity and momentum to end sexual and relationship violence and abuse,\u201d Street said.<\/p>\n

In order to make the project happen every year, the Title IX Office collaborates with a variety of different groups whose goals are centered around sexual violence awareness. This year they collaborated with RESTORE Sexual Assault Services \u2014 a confidential resource available on campus through Planned Parenthood they\u2019ve worked with\u00a0in the past<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 to make the project happen.<\/p>\n

The office \u201cwelcomes partnerships with any group that has like-minded goals on any event to raise awareness about and end sexual and relationship violence,\u201d Street said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
