Denim Day takes place on the last Wednesday of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This day of action and awareness encourages people to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence. The day comes following a high profile international rape trial, where the survivor was blamed for her rape because of the type of jeans she was wearing. In protest and solidarity, individuals are encouraged to wear denim to combat the idea that rape and sexual violence are the fault or responsibility of survivors. 

The Division of Student Engagement and Campus Life invites the campus community to the Student Center courtyard on Wednesday, April 28 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to raise awareness of this great cause. Campus partners including Ampersand Sexual Violence Resource Center of the Bluegrass will be present sharing resources.
