Denim day was established in 1999 after the Italian supreme court ruled to overturn a rape conviction because the justices decided that since the victim was wearing tight jeans, she must have helped the person who raped her to remove the jeans, thereby implying consent. The women of the Italian parliament came to work, wearing jeans in solidarity for the victim the very next day.

April is sexual assault awareness month. Support women and survivors of sexual assault by wearing denim today.
