HISTORY OF DENIM DAY
[Photo ID 1: A graphic titled “HISTORY OF DENIM DAY” is displayed. The background incorporates a textured denim fabric. Below the title, the text reads “Sexual Assault Awareness Month.” A section of text details the 1998 Italian Supreme Court decision that overturned a rape conviction, based on the argument that the victim’s jeans were too tight to have been removed without her cooperation. The graphic also presents a timeline showing how women in the Italian Parliament protested this decision by wearing jeans, making headlines worldwide. A teal-colored button that reads “Outrage & Protest” is positioned within the graphic, along with the ODSC logo.]
[Photo ID 2: A poster promoting Denim Day on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, is displayed. The poster, featuring a textured denim fabric background, highlights the date and emphasizes the phrase “WEAR DENIM.” A graphic of stacked blue jeans is prominently positioned in the center. The poster’s text describes how the Los Angeles-based organization Peace Over Violence launched the first Denim Day in the U.S. in 1999 to show solidarity with survivors of sexual violence and raise awareness about victim blaming. The ODSC logo is also displayed.]
