Denim Day

April 23rd, 2008
Aztec Center  11am-2pm

Denim Day is organized by Frat MANers (Fraternity Men Against Negative Environments and Rape Situations), and is held each April during Sexual Assault Awareness month. Denim Day is an international protest of an Italian Supreme court ruling dismissing the charges of rape because the victim was wearing jeans at the time of the attack. According to the court, jeans couldn’tbe removed without help. The unpopular verdict became an international symbol of myth-based injustice for sexual assault victims. On this day, members of Frat MANers table in Aztec Center and collect jeans to donate to a local San Diego women’s shelter.
