Denim Day is finally here! Wear denim and show support by attending Denim Day of Awareness at the Cross Cultural Center.
WHAT IS DENIM DAY?
In 1999, the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans at the time of the assault. The justices stated that the woman must have helped her attacker remove her jeans, from which they inferred consent. People all around the world were outraged. Wearing jeans on this anniversary became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes... about sexual violence.
Denim Day of Awareness is a simple way for UCSD to show their support of ending sexual violence in our community.
