Denim Day Table - Raise Awareness about Sexual Assault Month
April 11, 2015 (all day)
Denim Day is based on an incident of rape where the assailant's case was dismissed due to the fact that the victim's jeans were "'so tight" that she supposedly had to consent in order to get them off. The denim began a symbol of the many misconceptions surrounding sexual violence and to bring awareness of the societal idealization of victim blaming.
There will be a table at the U-M SSW to raise awareness about Safehouse (resource for female victims of abuse) and Denim Day (April 29). Information will be available via brochures/flyers and an advocate from Safehouse on April 11 during the Social Justice Art Festival.
