Denim Day: April 30th – Show Your Support for Survivors!

Announced on: Tuesday, Apr. 01, 2025

Join Safe Place on April 30th by wearing denim in honor of Denim Day!

What is Denim Day?
Denim Day started in 1999 in response to a controversial Italian court ruling that overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans, implying she could not have been assaulted if she could remove them herself. This ruling sparked outrage and led to the Denim Day movement, where people wore denim to protest victim-blaming and show support for survivors of sexual assault.

Why It's Important:
Denim Day is still an important movement today as we continue to emphasize that clothing is never an excuse for assault. Wearing denim on April 30th is a powerful way to stand in solidarity with survivors and challenge harmful narratives about sexual violence.

Resource Fair:
Join us at Trinity Lawn for a Resource Fair, where we'll be visible in our support for all survivors. Come by to learn about available resources, connect with others, and show your commitment to ending sexual violence.

Let's stand together, Wildcats, and raise awareness for this important cause!
