5) Domestic
Violence Awareness Contests
a.
Clothes Line Project
On an average nearly twenty people per minute are physically
abused by an intimate partner in the United States. One in three women and one
in four men have been victimized by some sort of physical violence by an intimate
partner within their lifetime. One in five children have witnessed domestic violence
within their homes. With a Fremont County population of 40,703, this means 6783
women and 5097 men will experience domestic violence sometime within their
lifetime. The “Clothes Line Project” contest was developed to educate fair
guests about the impact of domestic violence. Participants in the contest can
decorate tee shirts with a message about the impact of domestic violence from
their perspective. It can be an individual message, a memorial message for a
friend or family, or the effect on the community as a whole. The tee shirts
will be then displayed on a clothesline at fair. (Shirts be submitted anonymously)
$75 Donated by The Victims Assistance programs in Fremont County will be
awarded to the winner.
