Denim Day 2022

DENIM DAY IS A CAMPAIGN ON A WEDNESDAY IN APRIL IN HONOUR OF SEXUAL ASSULT AWARNESS 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.
