Denim day occurs on the last Wednesday of April. It is a day where you are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming (placing blame upon the victim of a crime instead of the perpetrator). This day started in 1998 in Italy when a rape conviction was overturned due to the victim wearing “tight jeans”. The goal of this day is to say that no matter what someone is wearing (or not wearing) they are never to blame for a crime committed against them.
