What will YOUR statement be on this Denim Day?
--
WHY DENIM DAY?
A rape conviction is overturned because the victim was wearing tight jeans. The court determines that tight jeans cannot be removed without cooperation, thereby implying consent. The “denim defense” is born and so is a movement. Since then, people all over the world make a social statement by wearing jeans on Denim Day as a symbol of protest against victim blaming and sexual violence.
