Denim Day
May 21 – All Campuses via Zoom and Instagram Hashtag
Take a photo of yourself wearing Denim (wherever you are!) and post it to Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #TCSPPTitleIX. One participant will be chosen to win a gift card.
The Denim Day campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court in which 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.
Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to this case and the activism surrounding it. Since then, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual harassment, abuse, assault and rape. In this sexual violence prevention and education campaign we ask community members to make a social statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.
