How long does a grope have to last before it is considered sexual assault? Assault for any amount of time is still assault! We founded Denim Day nearly 25 years ago after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a r**e conviction based on the victim’s tight jeans. Today, we are still fighting a battle against ridiculous attitudes around assault and victim blaming. There is NO EXCUSE to harass, abuse, assault or r**e. Euronews Culture CNN

Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month! As an organization with staff, volunteers, friends and clients from this community, we hope for a joyful month to celebrate identity and expression, particularly in the face of political attacks to strip trans people of their right to bodily autonomy and freedom, ban drag shows and other discriminatory acts. Pride Month was born out of rebellion after the Stonewall Riots, and it is as important as ever to fight for LGBTQ+ rights as community members and allies, for a more just, inclusive and peaceful world.
