4/21 – TODAY IS DENIM DAY IN LAUSD & THE USA

Wednesday April 21, 2010 - Eighteen years ago a convicted rapist was acquitted on appeal based on a defense that his victim was wearing tight jeans – she was “asking for it”.

It is that outrage that prompted the establishment of Denim Day.

Peace Over Violence is presenting the 11th Annual Denim Day in LA & USA 2010, a campaign to raise awareness and educate the public about rape and sexual assault.

This year it is Wednesday, April 21, 2010.

Make a difference by wearing jeans on Denim Day as a visible means of protest against misconceptions that surround sexual assault.
