DENIM DAY
Denim Day is a national movement that grew out of a 1998 Italian Supreme Court decision that overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans . The judges reasoned the victim ’ s tight jeans meant that she had to have helped her assailant remove them , implying consent . People all over the world were outraged , and wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against the attitude surrounding sexual assault . Peace Over Violence , a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles , led by Patti Giggans , organized the country ’ s first Denim Day event in 1999 and the event becomes even more successful every year . APRIL 27TH – 8TH MAY www . denimdayinfo . org
