Arts Access Aotearoa Today is the launch of The Disability Clothesline Project. I encourage you to check out their website and join their Facebook group! Show your support of this important project which aims to break invisibility and silence of disabled people, and publicly acknowledge their experiences.

The Disability Clothesline Project allows people with disability who have experienced violence to tell their stories on tee shirts. Placed on a clothesline, this formerly hidden abuse is exposed.
