Women Helping Women will hosts its third annual Clothesline Project reception on Wednesday, April 15 from 6 to 8 p.m.  The event will feature an art show with a reception and fundraiser at the National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles Council House, 543 N. Fairfax Avenue.

West Hollywood mayor elect Lindsey Horvath will speak at the event, addressing the current state of domestic violence. There will also be a self-defense workshop lead by 2nd degree black belt Kimberly Spalding.

The Clothesline Project is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. The shirts are displayed on clotheslines to raise awareness of violence against women and children.

Women Helping Women, a program of the NCJW/LA, is dedicated to providing high-quality, integrated mental health and supportive services. For information or to become a sponsor, email maryam@ncjwla.org.
