Denim Day was established 20 years ago in 1999 after a controversial ruling by the Italian Supreme Court. An 18 -year-old girl in Italy was raped ° by her driving instructor, but the Italian Supreme Court overturned the rape conviction on the basis of the victim's clothing. They concluded that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped to remove them and, therefore, gave consent. Vvearing jeans on Denim ()a} reminds us of the harmful attitudes and misconceptions surrounding se'n,al assault. SNAP A PICTURE!
