Denim Day Press Conference

South Steps of the Capitol
What is Denim Day?
Denim Day is a campaign on the last Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign started as a result of a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the judge believed that since the survivor’s jeans were so tight, she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The next day, all of the women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans to work the next day in solidarity with the survivor.
At our Denim Day press conference, We will hear from speakers sharing what their organizations and offices are actively doing to promote prevention and education on sexual assault.
Please join us if you can and wear your denim to show solidarity for survivors of sexual assault.
If you are unable to make it down to the Capitol, you can take your pictures in your denim and share your messages on social media and tag UCASA and use these hashtags
