Denim Day - SAAM 2024
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
Denim Day is a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and it is a day of global action in which participants wear denim as a challenge to victim-blaming misconceptions about sexual violence, as a protest against systems that continue to cause harm, and as a show of support to survivors.
Denim Day began in 1999 in response to a Supreme Court Case in Italy in which a sexual assault conviction was overturned as a result of judgments made about the survivor's clothing (tight denim jeans).
