WBU Supports International Denim Day

Wednesday, April 24, International Denim Day was recognized on the 猎奇重口视频 campus. Students and staff were encouraged to wear denim on this day and to go take the pledge at a station set up outside of the Cafeteria at lunchtime.

International Denim Day began in Italy in 1992, when an 18-year-old was raped by her 45-year-old driving instructor. Though the man was arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced to jail, years later he was released under his claim that the young girl had given consent. He made this claim under the reasoning that her jeans were so tight that he would’ve needed her assistance in removing them, thereby meaning she would have granted the man consent. Because of this, the women in the Italian Parliament launched a protest, in which they wore jeans on the steps of the Supreme Court, which was picked up by international media. Before long, the Executive Director of Peace Over Violence decided that everyone should wear jeans in protest, leading to the first ever Denim Day in LA in April of 1999, making this year its 25th year in celebration.

Led by Director of Violence Against Women Grant Project, Nicole Adams, 猎奇重口视频 participated in this event as a way to honor sexual survivors and spread sexual assault awareness. Besides encouraging everyone to wear denim on campus, The Crisis Center of the Plains and OVW set up outside of the Cafeteria at lunchtime to offer an opportunity for students and staff to make a pledge. In making this pledge, participants committed to five things: make a social statement with my fashion statement and wear denim on Denim Day, educate myself and others, support survivors, challenge misconceptions about sexual violence, and be an ally in solidarity with other violence prevention movements.
