APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
DENIM DAY
APRIL 29, 2020
APRIL 29, 2020
Share pictures on Instagram of your denim, artwork or poetry to honor sexual violence survivors. Join CCNY's observance of Denim Day by using hashtags #ccnydenimday2020 and #denimdaynyc and tagging @ccnycitycollege.
The Denim Day campaign began in response to an overturned rape conviction in which the justices reasoned that because the survivor was wearing jeans, she must have helped her rapist to remove them, thereby implying consent.
Wear jeans on Denim Day to protest erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault and to share a message of solidarity and support for survivors!
