Denim Day, a campaign to raise awareness about sexual violence and end victim-blaming, is observed on the last Wednesday of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, with Denim Day NYC holding a march and rally in New York City.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Origins:
Denim Day originated in 1999 as a response to an Italian Supreme Court decision that overturned a rape conviction, arguing that the victim, who was wearing tight jeans, must have helped her assailant remove them, implying consent.
Purpose:
The campaign aims to raise awareness about sexual violence, challenge harmful myths and misconceptions surrounding it, and advocate for survivors.
NYC Denim Day:
In New York City, Denim Day is marked with a march and rally, where people wear denim in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence.
Denim Day NYC 2024:
On April 24, 2024, Denim Day NYC held a march and rally, with people gathering at 209 Joralemon Street in Brooklyn and marching over the Brooklyn Bridge to Foley Square.
