Women's Center sponsors ND Clothesline Project and Take Back the Night Rally


The Women's Center is sponsoring the 14th annual Clothesline Project through Oct. 10 in the Memorial Union Ballroom, second floor. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to noon Friday.

The Take Back the Night Rally will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, in the Memorial Union Ballroom with keynote speaker Andrea Cooper, who will share the story of her daughter, Kristin. In 1995, Kristin was raped by a friend; as a result of this assault, Kristin battled depression which came to an end when she took her own life.

The Clothesline Project is a visual display of T-shirts that demonstrate the effects of domestic violence and sexual assault in our community. Each shirt represents a particular adult’s, young adult’s, or child’s experience and is decorated by the survivor or by a family member or friend. Help us take a stand against domestic violence and sexual assault in our community. This issue affects everyone, not just women.
