USC DENIM DAY
In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Center for Women & Men in partnership with Peace Over Violence presents USC Denim Day April 23 at 12:00 p.m. in Tommy Trojan Plaza. The event grew from outrage after an Italian court overturned a rape conviction because the victim had woren jeans. The justices speculated that the attacker would have need help from the victim to remove her jeans, from which they inferred consent. Enraged by the verdict, women in the Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans. Since then, wearing jeans on this day has become an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.
