Clothesline Project Displayed at Clerk’s Office for Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The Clerk’s Office will once again be partnering with The Shelter for Abused Women & Children to raise awareness about domestic violence and human trafficking. Throughout the Clerk’s offices, visitors will be able to see displays of the Shelter’s “Clothesline Project,” a therapeutic art initiative for survivors. We are grateful for the work that The Shelter for Abused Women & Children does to prevent, protect against, and overcome domestic violence in Collier County.

It is an honor to share the artwork of women and children who have grown beyond their circumstances. The Shelter’s DVAM Clothesline Project will be displayed in several departments throughout the Clerk’s Office to maximize its visual impact for this month. This project features t-shirts designed by Shelter participants during their time in The Shelter. The goal is to raise awareness about the effects of violence and abuse, celebrate a survivor’s resilience, and offer a platform for them to bravely share their experiences and break the silence that often envelops them.

Each department of the Clerk’s Office will be collecting essential items such as toiletries, bedding, clothing, baby formula, diapers, used cell phones, pet food, and more. The complete list can be found at naplesshelter.org. The Clerk’s Office plays an important role in assisting victims of domestic abuse by filing protective orders, dissolutions of marriage, and other court documents.
