Where We Have Been and What They Have Said
 
What They Have Said
  • Anonymous, Northwestern University Medical School
    "Thank you for coming. I am a survivor, and now I know I am not alone."

  • Cheryl, Elmhurst College
    "The power of the display exists in the raw manner. It forces viewers to recognize abuse. We have some people who think, this doesn't happen to anyone I know, not here in the suburbs."

  • Anonymous,
    "Many thanks for bringing The Clothesline Project. As a recent survivor of rape, I have begun the struggle to recover what he took away from me. This display shows me that I am not alone on this journey, and that I may be able to regain all that he took from me in time."

  • Anonymous,
    "Thank you. The silence has been too profound. I have felt so alone."

  • Melinda H., Coordinator of the AMSA
    "The display is very moving and disturbing. It puts a personal edge to violence against women. People leave with a sense of how real the problem is."

  • Anonymous
    "Wow! I never realized just how many women are abused. This really opened my eves to the ever existing crime of abuse. Thank You for the opportunity to view this display."

  • Anonymous, University of Illinois in Chicago
    "The Clothesline Project was very helpful to me, in my own healing process. I have been hit and beat by my boyfriend at age 16. 1 have kept it a secret for many years. I have also seen my sister, mother and friends beaten by the men that they were in relationships with. It's time society wakes up and does something about this."

  • Anonymous,
    "I made shirts with one of  my  best friends. We have both been raped ... come to think of it it is hard to think female friends who haven't been raped or battered"

  •  Anonymous, Private Catholic High School
    On a small sheet of paper, simply scrawled "I am physically and mentally abused"
