Clotheslines full of colored shirts stretched across the Cal State Fullerton campus Thursday to raise awareness of sexual assault.

The 22nd-second annual Clothesline Project includes more than 1,200 shirts meant to give victims of sexual assault and other crimes, a chance to speak out and share their message.

The handwritten message, "Having too much to drink does not make it ok for somebody else to take advantage of your body," covered the front of a bright pink clotheslined shirt – it was just one of the many personalized messages from individual victims of crime.
