Truman: Denim Day SAAM Resource Fair

Join Project S.A.F.E. for a resource fair to share campus and community-based services. Denim Day takes place on the last Wednesday of April for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This day of action and awareness is an event to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence. Wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.

During a 1992 sexual assault trial, Rome, Italy, an 18-year-old survivor was blamed for her rape because of the type of jeans she was wearing. In protest and solidarity, individuals are encouraged to wear denim to combat the idea that rape and sexual violence are the fault or responsibility of survivors.
