Denim Day

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and at Friends Against Family Violence (FAFV), we recognize the significant intersection of individuals who are survivors of both Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.

​

Denim Day, observed on the last Wednesday of April, is a powerful day of action and awareness. This event encourages everyone to wear denim to stand against victim-blaming and to educate others about sexual violence.

​

Denim Day began in response to a high-profile Italian rape trial, where the survivor was unjustly blamed due to the type of jeans she was wearing. In protest and solidarity, people worldwide wear denim to reject the harmful notion that survivors are in any way responsible for sexual violence.

​

To further this message, FAFV invites individuals to create empowering messages on denim and display them publicly within our community. On Denim Day, we will come together to raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault and foster a culture of support and understanding.
