The Fergus Falls Sexual Assault Prevention Advisory Council in partnership with, Someplace Safe will recognize Denim Day.
On Wednesday, April 25, Someplace Safe, along with thousands of individuals and organizations across the country observed Denim Day during Sexual Assault Awareness Month to honor and support victims and survivors of sexual violence.
Denim Day was triggered after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court, where a rape conviction was overturned due to the justices’ belief that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her attacker remove them, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Since then, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol against the misconceptions about sexual violence. All faculty, staff and students are invited to wear denim in support of survivors.
