Today after my 2:30 class, I went out to see the clothesline project on the UC lawn. As I walked around, I had mixed emotions. I was happy, sad, and sometimes mad. All the shirts had so many different meanings. I felt so sorry for children that are abused and have no one to help them. Also, there were all kinds of shirts that had descriptions of murders that had taken place as a direct result of domestic violence. Seeing this project really inspired me to get involved at the Women's Center. I'd love to be able to help prevent domestic violence and abuse as well as many other issues that women and children all around the world face everyday.

I am glad that it inspired you to get involved at the Women's Center! The Clotheline Project is an emotional rollercoaster.
I was also very shocked at the t-shirts. It really hit home becasue one of my best friends was in an abusive realtionship. It made me think about all the times I told her to just leave him. I was glad to see that many women got out of those types of relationships and are spreading the word.
The shirts were surprising with all the facts on them about how many women are hurt and killed each year. It really made me think about how much of a problem domestic violence really is.
