The Clothesline Project

Pathfinders to Host the Clothesline Project

The Clothesline Project is an annual community initiative proudly supported by Pathfinders during Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month each May. The project provides a safe and supportive space for survivors, supporters, and community members to come together, raise awareness, and stand in solidarity against gender-based violence.

As part of the initiative, participants are invited to design t-shirts that share personal stories, messages of hope, and expressions of support. Displayed on a public clothesline, the shirts create a powerful visual representation of voices speaking out against violence and the impact it has on individuals, families, and communities.

Each year, a range of Pathfinders programs and teams support the delivery of the Clothesline Project, helping create a welcoming and therapeutic environment for participants to connect, reflect, and support one another.

The Clothesline Project continues to be an important opportunity for our community to raise awareness, encourage conversations, and show support for those affected by domestic and family violence.
