Event Description
WEAR JEANS WITH A PURPOSE ON
DENIM DAY
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2014
In 1999, 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.
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, Wednesday, April 23, 2014, wear your jeans as a visible sign of protest against the myths that still surround sexual assault
