Showcasing a clothesline of shirts, each one representing a particular woman's experience to break the silence of violence against women.

This project, organised by Yoorana, aims to increase awareness of the impact of violence and abuse as well as providing a voice to survivors.

The Clothesline Project contains powerful and personal messages from local women about domestic violence, abuse and trauma. 

Some messages displayed may offend or be emotionally intense or triggering. 
Please take care of your emotional wellbeing as you engage with this project. If you need support, there are resources available to help, including counsellors and helplines.
