April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)

University of Wisconsin-Stout students are breaking the silence and raising awareness in the month of April against sexual assault. Students in Dr. Susan Wolfgram’s Abuse and the Family class at the University of Wisconsin-Stout collaborated with the Bridge to Hope in Menomonie, to increase sexual assault awareness on campus and in the community. The Clothesline Project began in 1990 in Massachusetts after members of the Cape Cod Women’s Agenda hung shirts designed by survivors of assault, rape, and incest. The goal of this project is to allow women survivors of sexual assault the opportunity to have a voice by decorating a shirt that will then be hung in their community. This traveling art is a collective testimony that shows the prevalence of sexual violence in our own community and the need for individuals to take a stand and help make our society a safer place.

The shirts will be on display at various locations in Menomonie throughout the month of April. Project group members include: Alissabeth Schmidt (Project Manager), Anna Theiler, Tonya Koskovich, Ashley Gibson, and Hannah Bolda.
