Denim Day
April 30, 2025
Wear denim with a purpose on April 30 to show support for survivors of sexual violence, and show that we as a community care about this issue. Take a picture and email the picture to violenceprevention@uidaho.edu and we will post it for you. Violence Prevention Programs, in conjunction with ASUI, Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse and many more campus partners encourage the Vandal Family to follow along on social media (@uiviolenceprevention and @vandalgreendot) to show your support.
Why Denim?
The campaign was originally triggered by a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.
