Learn more about Quigley House’s Sexual Assault Services
During April we take time to celebrate survivors of Sexual Violence and work to bring awareness in hopes to end this violence against men, women and children.
The reason we chose to feature #SAAM this April with our multiple shades of teal is to represent that varying shades of Sexual Assault and to honor all victims and survivors. Sexual Assault of any degree is unacceptable and we fight to honor those who have survived and educated others to prevent future sexual assaults.

#SAAM Workshop 4 - Clothesline Project
The Clothesline Project affirms that violence does occur all around us, and in all forms. "It is a visual reminder of statistics that we often ignore." Those who have been silenced can now speak out. The goal is to motivate people to take action. Each display provides information on how to identify and avoid violence, comfort survivors, and impact surrounding regions. It is in honor of survivors who can make a difference by giving their testimony. You can download this blank t-shirt and color it in yourself if you have experienced any of these forms of abuse.
