Clothesline Project

Paul Toussaint, co-founder of The Empty Spaces Project on Main Street in Putnam, set up new T-shirts to display from United Services Domestic Violence Program’s The Clothesline Project as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month this October. The Clothesline Project is a compelling visual display of T-shirts that have been created by local survivors of domestic violence. Each year during the month of October, United Services honors those women by hanging the shirts in the community to increase awareness. Each shirt represents the survivor’s strength and courage to break the silence, end the cycle of violence and heal from the traumatic experience. The shirts will be at The Empty Spaces Project until the end of October. For more information on Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities this month, visit www.unitedservicesct.org.
