Through this shared expression, the project raises awareness about the impact of violence and abuse, uplifts the resilience of survivors, and creates space to break the silence—ensuring every story is heard, believed, and respected.

Hosted by The Cottage, Sexual Assault Center & Children’s Advocacy Center, the Clothesline Project comes to life through meaningful partnerships across our community. Each gathering creates an opportunity for connection, reflection, and collective healing.

Throughout April—Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Awareness Month—we partner with organizations across Athens to host gatherings, including:

• April 1: Sexual Assault Awareness & Child Abuse Awareness Month Begins
• April 2: Bigger Vision — 95 North Ave | 4:30–6:00 PM
• April 10: UGA Take Back the Night — Nuçi’s Space | 6:00–10:00 PM
• April 16: Athens Area Homeless Shelter — 620 Barber St | 6:00–7:00 PM
• April 19: TVM Open Mic Night — 108 Park Ave | 6:00–8:00 PM
• April 21: Denim Day — UGA Pavilion | 10:30 AM–12:30 PM
• Project Safe: Private gathering

Together, these partnerships help create a community where survivors are supported and awareness leads to action.
