Wednesday April 23rd, 2014 is National Wear Denim Day
We are asking community members, elected officials, businesses and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement and on this day wear jeans as a visible means of protest against misconceptions that surround sexual assault.
How it works: Charge your employees $5 on this day to wear jeans/denim to work. CVAC will provide awareness stickers and/or denim ribbons for all participants! |

Denim Day stems from a 1992 Italian court case in which the conviction of a rapist was overturned. Because the victim was wearing jeans, the judge ruled that “she had to help him (the rapist) remove them, and by removing the jeans it was no longer rape but consensual sex.” |
