Denim Day began in 1999 as a response to an Italian court ruling that dismissed a sexual assault case because the victim had been wearing jeans. Women in the Italian Parliament wore denim in solidarity with the victim, sparking an international movement. Since then, every April, people worldwide wear denim to raise awareness about sexual violence, challenge victim-blaming attitudes, and advocate for justice and support for survivors. Denim Day symbolizes solidarity and resistance against sexual violence.
