Section seven Community Awareness Events - Ideas to Help you get Started Empty Place at the Table Domestic violence is a deadly crime that creates a painful void and a permanent empty place at the table for families whose loved ones were killed at the hands of batterers. Following a cluster of domestic violence murders in Lackawanna County, PA, in 1993, the community responded by holding a rally and march outside the courthouse. To keep the momentum for social change alive, rally organizers and the Women’s Resource Center, Inc. (a PCADV member program) worked together to create An Empty Place at the Table. This exhibit demonstrates the devastating result of violence against women and children and helps ensure that these deaths are not forgotten. http://www.pcadv.org/Raising-Awareness/ Empty-Place-at-the-Table.asp The Silent Witness National Initiative Clothesline Project The Clothesline Project is a visual display that bears witness to the violence against women and children. The Clothesline Project exhibits T-shirts designed by survivors of abuse and those who have lost loved ones to it. Shirt colors represent a variety of victimizations such as child sexual assault or domestic violence. Survivors then decorate the T-shirt to represent and honor their experience. The shirts are hung on a clothesline display to: • Honor survivors and memorialize victims • Help with the healing process for survivors and people who have lost a loved one to violence • Educate, document, and raise society’s awareness about crimes of violence against women and children • Build a national network of communities with their own Clothesline Projects http://dvam.vawnet.org/campaigns/ clothesline.php In 1990, a group of women artists and writers, alarmed by the growing number of women in Minnesota being murdered by their partners or acquaintances, joined together with several other women’s organizations to form Arts Action Against Domestic Violence. They decided to create 26 free-standing, life-sized red wooden figures, each one bearing the name of a woman who once lived, worked, had neighbors, friends, family, children and whose life ended violently at the hands of a husband, ex-husband, partner, or acquaintance. A twenty-seventh figure was added to represent those uncounted women whose murders went unsolved or were erroneously ruled accidental. http://dvam.vawnet.org/campaigns/silentwitness.php Purple Ribbon Although the exact history of this symbol is difficult to pinpoint, across the country families and friends of victims have adopted the purple ribbon to remember and honor their loved ones who have lost their lives at the hands of a person they once loved and trusted. Shelters and local domestic violence programs use the purple ribbon to raise awareness about the crime of domestic violence in their communities. http://dvam.vawnet.org/campaigns/purpleribbon.php page 54 When Crisis Strikes | Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence | 2012
Remember My Name Project The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), in conjunction with Ms. Magazine, started this project in 1994 to create a national registry of names to increase public awareness of domestic violence deaths. Since then, NCADV has continued to collect information on incidents of women who have been killed by an intimate partner and produces a poster each year for Domestic Violence Awareness Month listing the names of those submitted. http://www.ncadv.org/programs/ RememberMyNameProject.php The Emily Fund for a Better World The mission of The EMILY Fund is to continue Emily Rachel Silverstein’s legacy of hope in action for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, through education, mentorship and creating and disseminating educational resources to facilitate individuals and student-centered organizations to experience local and global social change through community building activities. Emily was killed by her ex-boyfriend in April, 2009, at Gettysburg College where they were both students. http://www.emilyfund.org/ Section seven Telling Amy’s Story Hosted by actress and advocate Mariska Hargitay, and told by Detective Deirdri Fishel, Telling Amy’s Story follows the timeline of a domestic violence homicide that occurred on Nov. 8, 2001. The victim’s parents and coworkers, law enforcement officers, and court personnel share their perspectives on what happened to Amy in the weeks, months, and years leading up to her death. Unfortunately, the ending to Amy’s story will not change; however her friends, family and community hope that telling her story can change outcomes for the millions of victims, survivors, and loved ones affected by domestic violence every day. Telling Amy’s Story is a public service media project by Penn State Public Broadcasting, made possible with funding from the Verizon Foundation and HopeLine from Verizon Wireless. http://telling.psu.edu/index.html Emily Fund, Stop Dating Violence Stop Dating Violence is a project of The Emily Fund and encourages teens to take a pledge to be non-abusive in their dating relationships. It also encourages communities to promote healthy dating relationships and issue community-wide proclamations to end violence against women. http://www.stopdatingviolence.org/ Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Frank Baird created Walk a Mile in Her Shoes ® in 2001. What started out as a small group of men daring to totter around a park in high heels has grown to become a worldwide movement with tens of thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized violence education, prevention and remediation programs. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes ® asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. It’s not easy walking in these shoes, but it’s fun and it gets the community to talk about something that’s really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexual violence. http://www.walkamileinhershoes.org/index. html When Crisis Strikes | Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence | 2012 page 55
