WCAFDA are part of the South Australian Government's A Right to Safety Agenda.
The primary purpose of these Collaborations being to build community capacity to prevent and reduce the incidence of violence against women in local regions by working to create cultural and attitudinal change within the community, addressing the underlying causes of the violence.
The Clothesline Project
The concept was born in the USA in 1990, with the idea being to hang t-shirts on clothesline in public places, to raise awareness of the violence against women. The idea came about as doing the washing was considered 'women's work' and often close-knit neighbours would share information over the backyard fences whilst they were hanging out their washing.
WCAFDA Clothesline Project is to create awareness about domestic and other violence against women. By using words or artwork to decorate t-shirts, affected women can tell their story in their own unique way, other women and men both young and old can share their message of hope and firm stance to say NO to violence against women in any way, shape or form.
