2012 National Wear Denim Day

by Kathleen McCoy  |   

Wear Denim Wednesday, April 25, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Sugar Spoon cupcakes giveaway Noon-3p.m. Student Union Upper Hallway

UPDATED 4/23/2012: Mini cupcakes from Sugar Spoon for students and employees who participate by wearing a Denim Day button. The cupcakes and buttons will be available in the Student Union upper hallway on Wednesday between noon and 3 p.m.

Recognize Denim Day in honor of a woman who was forcibly raped by her driving instructor. The woman pressed charges, but the case was dismissed because the chief judge decided that, "...because the victim wore very, very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them, and by removing the jeans it was no longer rape, but consensual sex."

Do you agree? Neither to we! So please wear your jeans and Denim Day button today as a visible sign of protest against the myths that surround sexual assault!

You can pick up your UAA Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault keychain and National Wear Denim Day button at Student Clubs and Greek Life, Student Union Info Desk and at Residence Life.

A Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Awareness Month event at UAA.
