  • Wear Denim Day 2022 

    Wear Denim Day 2022 

    The Denim Day campaign began as an international protest of a Court decision to overturn a rape conviction. The Italian Supreme Court dismissed charges against a rape suspect because his victim was wearing jeans at the time of the attack. The Head Judge argued, “Because the victim wore very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them… and by removing the jeans… it was no longer rape but consensual sex.” This sparked a worldwide outcry from those who understand coercion, threats and violence go along with the act of rape. Participate in Denim Day to honor survivors who have experienced victim blaming:
