Denim Day is a campaign on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.

Join us in showing your support for sexual violence survivors by wearing jeans, a jean jacket, a denim dress, or anything else with denim on April 26, 2023. Be sure to message us your #DenimDay selfies on social media or email them to CommunityRelations@PeaceRiverCenter.org.
