Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Review
April was full of events to promote awareness about sexual assault and violence.
SARC started off the month with National Day of Action, where we teamed up with the six colleges and even UCSD’s grad housing and medical school to plant flowers for strength. We provided pots and forget-me-not flower seeds so that participants could plant their own flower and pledge to end violence or to honor a victim. This was a great success and students all over UCSD now have sprouting plants in their homes showing that they took a stand.
The month continued with Gender Buffets at the Women’s Center every Friday, ‘See you at the Cross’ events, SAAM displays, and tabling on library walk.
Denim Day was April 21st, and students and staff got together to promote awareness of sexual violence with many of our friends and organizations on campus. Vice Chancellor Penny Rue spoke, and denim patches were decoreated for the Denim Day 2011 display.
At the end of the month, A.S Women’s Commission put on another Take Back the night and it was extremely well done. With preformances by Eveoke and the Dots, and an open mic for testimonials, it was an empowering night for all who attended.
Thank you to the entire SAAM committee for making April
and Sexual Assault Awareness Month a great success.

It's Denim Day
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.
