Denim Day is Thursday, April 24. In 1999, an Italian Supreme Court decision overturned a rape conviction because the survivor wore jeans, reasoning she must have helped her attacker remove them. People all over the world were outraged. Wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against victim-blaming. Join MU faculty, staff and students to continue the protest and raise awareness about this issue by wearing jeans and/or a Denim Day pin on this day. Denim Day serves as a reminder that there is never an excuse for rape or sexual assault. If you would like a denim day pin please contact Sheryl Cullina.
