On April 24, USAFA will be participating in an international event called Denim Day to make a visual statement that we stand up against victim blaming and sexual violence. Denim Day originated in 1992, when the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction based on what the victim was wearing at the time of her assault. The justices ruled that because 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 to protest the decision and show solidarity with the victim. Denim Day is now recognized as a national and international awareness event with more than six million participants around the world. Please join USAFA on April 24 and wear denim to show your support. For more information, visit www.demindayinfo.org.
