The Clothesline Project - Fighting Domestic Violence

The T - shirt used in the laundry project is meant to show that the influence of violence is very common in our society. All T - shirts hanging on the project are decorated with the victim, the family of the victim, or the friend of the victim who experienced violence in some way. Each shirt hanging in the ballroom contains a color representing various kinds of violence that each person experiences. For example, white T - shirts are used for those who died of violence.

"Recapture Night" is an international event that began to deal with sexual violence and violence against women in the early 1970s. The community held TBTN parades and rallies to unify the individual violence against the community. TBTN can include candlelight gatherings, meetings, survivors, and large public parade.

Domestic violence may occur on the street, at home, or in public places. People suffering from domestic violence can be children, men and women; women are usually women who suffered domestic violence from their loved ones. - In 1997, the FBI conducted a survey on 40 "serious attacks" against members of national law enforcement agencies. Of the 52 officers involved in these incidents, 47 people thought they were "excellent" health condition. Each of these officials is usually involved in some kind of fitness program, such as weight lifting and running.
