Denim Day Shows Support of Sexual Assault Awareness
The Women’s Resource Center will sponsor Denim Day, April 29 on the quad.
Denim Day is an international day of awareness that calls attention to sexual violence and challenges harmful myths about consent. It began as a response to a court ruling that suggested a survivor’s clothing implied consent, and it has since become a powerful symbol of solidarity and support for survivors. Wearing denim on this day is a visible way to stand against victim-blaming and to affirm that consent is never determined by what someone is wearing.
Campus is encouraged to wear jeans April 29 to show support for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Participants should also be prepared to answer questions about why they are wearing jeans.
