Wear denim today and stand in solidarity with women around the globe!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and all Thetas are invited to help combat sexual violence against women. The Denim Day campaign, typically the last Wednesday in April, was developed in response to a sexual assault case in Italy in the 1990s. A woman’s rape case was overturned after a judge ruled her jeans were so tight she would have had to help her perpetrator take them off, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans in solidarity with the survivor.

If you wear denim and your Kappa Alpha Theta letters, use #DenimDay if you post on social media.
