Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Christopher Kilmartin" <>]

In conjunction with the White Ribbon Campaign, one year we tied larger white 
ribbons around a chain border in the center of campus - one for every woman 
whom a male partner or ex had murdered that year in the United States (note 
that I purposefully did not use the passive voice construction "were murdered 
by") - I think there were around 1200 for the most recently available year - 
and then put up posters explaining what the ribbons represented (no passive 
voice on the posters, please - the perpetrator should be the subject of the 
sentence, even if it feels linguistically awkward).  I called it my Christo 
project.

For the record, the "The is Not an Invitation to Rape Me..." is a project 
originally developed by the LA Commission on Assaults Against Women (now 
known as Peace Over Violence, the LA-based SA/DV crisis center.  The original 
posters may still be available from POV, although I'm not sure.  The posters 
on the guerilla girls website are thematically similar, and very well done.
