The Denim Day Mission:

Education - There is no excuse for rape.

Awareness - The prevalence of rape. 

Empowerment - Step forward, take a stand against rape.

Herstory: The Italian High Court overturning a rape conviction because the victim wore “tight” jeans. This became known as the “denim defense.'' 

When the decision was announced, women of the Italian legislature protested by wearing jeans to the afternoon legislative session. It has evolved into a global observance and day of protest.
