The clothesline project was started to give a visual to the violence going on in this country. The Western Illinois Regional Counsil Community Action Agency started participating in 1996. their goal was to bring attention to violence against women.

there are six different color t-shirts that mean different types of violnce. a few examples are; white is for women who have died of violence, yellow is for women who have been battered or assaulted, orange is for women who have been reaped or sexually assaulted.
