Georgia Perimeter College students brought bring attention to the issue of violence against women during this spring’s Clothesline Project at Dunwoody Campus.

Participating students drafted colorful messages on t-shirts, which were then displayed on “clotheslines” and in buildings.  

Students in Dr. Dana Wiggins’ Women in American History class coordinated the activity, asking participants who had experienced violence, or knew a woman who had, to decorate shirts.

“We then displayed the shirts as visible symbols of the number of women who have experienced domestic, sexual or sexuality-related violence,” Wiggins says. “This project lends itself to the goals of the class and feminism in general by giving women survivors voices and also allowing volunteers to work with activism outside of the classroom.”
