Clothesline Project-007

Capt. Penny Ripperger, the 119th Wing sexual assault response coordinator (SARC), reads a poem written on a t-shirt July 28, at a Clothesline Project visual display on the Veteran’s Administration Hospital grounds, Fargo, N.D. The Clothesline Project display USES t-shirts created by victims of military sexual trauma (MST), and people who have a message (TAKE OUT:to voice) about MST, to "break the silence" and to bear witness to sexual violence. The event gives survivors an opportunity to express their experiences through the t-shirt artwork, and for some it may be a first step in the healing process of emotional recovery from violence against them.(DoD photo by Senior Master Sgt. David H. Lipp) (Released)
