Denim Day

Denim Day:

We'd like to cordially invite you to join our Sexual Assault awareness movement.

Cibolo: 5- 7 pm (City of Cibolo Multi-Event Center)

History of Denim Day:
In 1999, the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction in which an 18 -year-old student in Italy was raped by her 45-year-old driving instructor during a driving lesson in 1992. They ruled that because she was wearing tight jeans, there must have been consent. In an act of solidarity, women lawmakers wore jeans to work and protested on the steps of the Italian Supreme Court. Solidarity actions spread around the world. Now every 4th Wednesday of April, to support survivors and to raise awareness about sexual violence, we wear Denim (Jeans).

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
