This action day is part of the EU projects VIPROM and IMPROVE. Both EU projects aim to enhance support for victims of domestic violence and equip medical first responders with the skills to identify and assist those in need more effectively. Raising awareness about domestic violence is a collective responsibility that concerns us all.
The Clothesline Project
Central to this event is the impactful Clothesline Project, which invites individuals to share their stories and experiences related to domestic violence. This initiative creates a compelling narrative that highlights the importance of addressing this critical issue.
The Clothesline Project emphasises inclusivity, providing a platform for all affected individuals and their supporters to contribute. Whether directly impacted by domestic violence or acting as a supporter, everyone is encouraged to design a T-shirt that conveys a personal message. The project also honours those who have lost their lives to domestic violence.
Visitors will encounter a symbolic clothesline displaying T-shirts decorated with personal messages, quotes, and artwork—each piece representing the voice of someone affected by domestic violence or their allies.
If you wish to contribute a T-shirt, please refer to the details in the attached PDF.
The exhibition will be open throughout the event, with trained personnel on hand to provide support and engage with attendees. Join us in this essential dialogue and help raise awareness about domestic violence. Together, we can make a significant difference.
