Denim Day
Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
UCOP is recognizing National Denim Day as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The Denim Day movement was triggered by a 1990s ruling in which the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction because the justices felt that because the victim was wearing tight jeans, she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. Wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against misconceptions around sexual assault. Learn more about this awareness event here.
