DENIM DAY
April 25, 2018
Speak out against Sexual Assault
In 1998, an Italian Supreme Court decision overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore jeans, reasoning she must have helped her attacker remove them. People all over the world were outraged. Wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.
Last year on Denim Day, over 12 million people from all over the world wore jeans with a purpose; proclaiming that sexual violence is not welcome in our cities, not in our families, not on our campuses, not in the locker rooms, not in the workplace, not in our relationships, not anywhere.
This day we unite against the sexual assault of girls, women, boys and men. We stand in support of survivors. We break the silence to end sexual violence.
On Denim Day, wear your jeans as a visible sign of protest against the myths that still surround sexual assault!
