TODAY is Denim Day, the annual event where we protest against victim-blaming and stand with survivors. Post your photo wearing denim below!
he Denim Day story begins in Italy in 1992, when an 18-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by the 45-year-old driving instructor who was taking her to her very first driving lesson.
She reported the assault, and the perpetrator was arrested and prosecuted. He was then convicted and sentenced to jail.
Years later, he appealed the conviction, claiming that they had consensual sex. The Italian Supreme Court overturned the conviction, and the perpetrator was released.
A statement from the Court argued that because the victim was wearing very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them. By removing the jeans, it was not rape but consensual sex. This became known throughout Italy as the “jeans alibi.”
Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament staged a protest on the steps of the Supreme Court, wearing jeans.
This protest was picked up by international media, which inspired the California Senate and Assembly to do the same on the steps of the Capitol in Sacramento. Patti Occhiuzzo Giggans, Executive Director of Peace Over Violence, saw this in the media and thought everyone should be wearing jeans to protest all of the myths about why women and girls are attacked. Denim Day in LA was born. The first Denim Day in LA event was held in April of 1999, and has continued annually since.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. If you are in need of support, please call us at 304-399-1111 or visit contacthuntington.com ... See MoreSee Less
