National Denim Day- Support Survivors of Sexual Assault
Date: 04-29-2026
Time: 12:00 PM
Denim Day began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court to overturn a rape conviction because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove them, thereby implying consent. Following the reversal, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Support survivors by wearing denim on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.
