Sexual Assault Awareness Month - Denim Day
Today, we wore denim, standing with others worldwide in recognition of Denim Day.
Denim Day traces back to a 1990s court case in Italy. An 18-year-old reported being r*ped by her driving instructor during a driving lesson on an isolated road. The instructor forcefully removed her 'denim.' He was arrested and convicted, but years later, Italy’s supreme court overturned the conviction, claiming she wore tight jeans, she must have helped remove them—implying consent.
By wearing denim, we stand together to support survivors and reinforce a simple truth: the clothing you wear never equals consent.
