<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nDenim Day this year is April 24th, 2024. But what is Denim Day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Denim Day<\/a> is an annual program that asks anyone and everyone to wear jeans as a visible protest. This was created in response to what became known as the \u201cJeans Alibi\u201d in Italy. A 45-year-old man had sexually assaulted an 18-year-old. The 45-year-old claimed that because the 18-year-old\u2019s jeans were too tight, she had to help him remove them, meaning it was consensual. The women in Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans, and international media picked it up. This protest has been held annually in April since.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor more information visit: denimday.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDenim Day is recognized at UW-Whitewater each year in the six-pack.
