Denim Day event-
Make a social statement with your fashion statement: wear jeans with a purpose! The Denim Day campaign started in 1999 in response to the Italian Supreme Court overturning a rape conviction because the 17 year old victim wore jeans. The justices reasoned that the victim must have helped her attacker (her 45 year old driving instructor) remove her jeans because they were “tight,” thereby implying her consent. Italian women protested the decision by wearing jeans and every year since the ruling, activist groups in the United Sates have participated in the Denim Day Campaign.

This works out well for me since I pretty much wear jeans to work every day! Thanks for the info!
