Workshop: How to Support Survivors of Interpersonal Violence
3:00-4:00pm
LSC 203


Clothesline project shirt making session
5:00-7:00pm
Edwards Hall

Clothesline Project Info:
Are you a survivor of sexual assault, relationship violence, child sexual abuse or abuse/harassment because of your sexual orientation? Then consider making a t-shirt for the Clothesline Project! The Clothesline Project is a national project where survivors of violence and their loved ones create t-shirts (think puffy paints and fabric markers) to share their stories. The shirts are then hung shoulder to shoulder on a clothesline at awareness events to raise the public’s awareness about interpersonal violence. No one knows who made each shirt or even who has made a shirt for the project – the identity of shirt makers is kept confidential.

Drop in to make a shirt at any of the times below. All shirt making materials will be provided free of charge!

Wed. 4/14/10 5-7pm Edwards Hall Basement
Tues. 4/20/10 10am-1pm 214-216 LSC
Tues. 4/20/10 7-9pm Academic Village 2nd floor lounge
Tues. 4/27/10 10am-3pm LSC Plaza

If you have questions or would like to pick up free materials to make a shirt on your own and drop it off at OWPS, you can contact Kathryn Woods at the Office of Women’s Programs and Studies at 970-491-6384 or kathryn.woods@colostate.edu.

Event Reminder!! The Complexities of Men as Allies

The Complexities of Men as Allies
Rachael Johnson & Chris Linder

Friday, April 9, 10 a.m. to noon

room 104 TILT


Men who identify as feminist or pro-feminist have a history of working alongside women in feminist movements to decrease gender-based violence and oppression. While it is important to have male allies in these movements, their presence in women’s “safe spaces” and the well-intentioned work they have done alongside women has sometimes led to harm or further marginalization of women. This presentation summarizes interviews with women who have worked with men in movements to end sexist violence and oppression. We will explore the challenges and successes of working with men as well as strategies for improving accountability.

Make a Shirt for the Clothesline Project!

The Clothesline Project is a visual display of shirts with messages and illustrations that have been designed by survivors of violence (or by a survivor’s loved ones). During the public display, the shirts are hung shoulder to shoulder on a clothesline to raise the public’s awareness about violence. Each shirt is decorated to represent a particular survivor’s experience.

According to the national organization, The Clothesline Project has four main objectives.

1. To bear witness to the experiences of survivors.

2. To help with the healing process for survivors or their loved ones.

3. To educate, document and raise awareness about violence in our community.

4. To provide a nationwide network of support, encouragement and information.

Sometimes we hear people say, “I want to make a shirt….but I am not artistic or creative!!”. It is important to know that you do NOT need any specific artistic skill in order to make a shirt. The goal of the shirt making sessions is to provide a safe, comforting and healing environment where survivors (and their loved ones) can document their experiences, feelings or thoughts.

We will be hosting 6 T-Shirt Making Sessions throughout the month of April. All materials will be provided and Victim Advocates will be present at every session.

April 6th… 5:00 - 6:30 pm in Corbett Hall
April 9th… 12:00 - 2:00 pm in 112 Student Services Bldg
April 14th… 5:00 - 7:00 pm in Edwards Hall

CSU's SAAM Event Calendar

SAAM is officially here!!!

Today is the official start to Sexual Assault Awareness Month!! *crowd cheers!*

Here at CSU we have lots and lots of fantastic programs, workshops, films and other events planned in the hopes of raising awareness on our campus about the issue of sexual violence.

Since today is also april fool's day, we thought we would start things off by sharing a short animated film that uses satire to poke fun at typical "prevention" strategies.

we hope you enjoy!
