Why Denim?

In 1992, an 18-year-old survivor in Italy was blamed for her assault because her jeans were deemed “too tight” to remove without consent. When the court overturned her attacker’s conviction in 1999, activists worldwide protested by wearing denim as a symbol of resistance. Denim Day was born to challenge harmful myths and stand with survivors.

WEAR DENIM ON APRIL 24 to reject victim-blaming and

demand accountability.
