Wear Denim Day
April 30
Denim Day is a day of action and awareness on the last Wednesday of April. It’s a day to wear denim and educate others about sexual violence.
Why is it celebrated?
Denim Day was created in response to an Italian Supreme Court ruling that overturned a rape conviction. The court ruled that the victim’s tight jeans implied consent. The day is a way to protest victim blaming and harmful attitudes towards sexual violence. It’s a day to support survivors and advocate for policies that end sexual violence.
How can you participate?
- Wear denim to show your support for survivors
- Attend events, workshops, or fundraisers
- Educate yourself and others about sexual violence
- Advocate for policies and societal changes to end sexual violence
- Donate or fundraise to support healing services and violence prevention programming
