One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.

Women 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of intimate partner violence.

Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to become abusers as adults.

This year, the WSU Commission on the Status of Women (COSW) will participate in the Clothesline Project (http://www.clotheslineproject.org/). The Clothesline Project is a program started in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.
