Shirts decorated with messages against abuse are displayed Monday outside Faner Hall as part of the Clothesline Project, sponsored by the Women’s Center in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Survivors of abuse and the loved ones of those lost to violence design the shirts to honor those affected and help victims with the healing process. Each color represents a different form of abuse: white in honor of those who have died, yellow for domestic violence, red, pink and orange for sexual assault, blue and green for child abuse or incest and purple for those attacked based on sexual orientation. The Women’s Center in Carbondale and other area women’s centers will be conducting activities for the entire month of October.
