April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and on one Wednesday every April, there is a Denim Day - an event originally created by Peace Over Violence 18 years ago in protest over an Italian Supreme Court ruling that overturned a r**e conviction.In this court ruling it had been decided that since the victim was wearing tight jeans, she must have helped her ra**st remove her jeans, and that this speculation was evidence of consent. On Denim Day, wearing jeans has become a visible means of protest against the misconceptions of sexual assault.
Come out to learn more and help spread awareness about sexual violence awareness at the CSUMB Denim Day Fair event next Wednesday! The event will take place at the Student Center in the East Lounge on April 26th at 7pm. We hope to see you there!
