Denim Day Celebration
Special Event
In 1992, a sexual assault conviction was overturned in Rome, Italy by the Italian High Court because the victim had been wearing tight jeans. The court argued that because her jeans were tight she would have had to assist him in removing them, therefore giving him consent. Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans on the steps of the Supreme Court. Over the years wearing jeans on this anniversary has become an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual violence. Join in solidarity by wearing jeans on Wednesday, April 26th. Stop by our Denim Day barbecue for photo booth opportunities and to build community.
