April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Title IX and the student group S.A.V.E. will host several events over the next few weeks to raise awareness. One of our primary events is Denim Day. Since 1999, Peace Over Violence has run an inspiring and powerful campaign to practice solidarity and support survivors by renewing the commitment to exposing harmful behaviors and attitudes surrounding sexual violence. Denim Day is recognized on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Denim Day began after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction, arguing that because the victim wore tight jeans, she must have helped remove them—implying consent.

Do you have jeans taking up space in your closet? It’s time to give them up. We are holding a denim drive from March 31 to April 3. On April 3, students, staff, and community members are invited to paint denim with messages of support for sexual assault survivors. We will display the denim on Walker Lawn from April 4 to April 30.

Denim Drop-off Locations:
Admin Building, 1st floor (Wahtera Center)
Admin Building, 3rd floor (Title IX Office)
Campus collection dates:
April 1 – Library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
April 3 – Wads Lobby from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Painting Event: Paint with us!
Where: Superior Room, MUB
When: April 3, 5–7 PM

Mark your calendars for April 30, 2025. Wear denim to show solidarity with women around the world and to bring awareness to victim blaming and destructive myths that surround sexual violence.
