Denim Day

Wed, Apr 26, 2023

Wearing jeans on this day is a visible means of protest against the misconceptions surrounding sexual assault.  Join the Office of Residence Life and make a social statement with your fashion statement. Stop by any residence hall front desk, receive an official Denim Day button, and share why you wear denim on social using #bgsuDenimDay.  WHY DENIM? The Denim Day campaign takes place on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Violence Awareness Month. The campaign was originally triggered by a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to this case and the activism surrounding it. Since then, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault. Learn more about BGSU Denim Day. Don't forget to wear Denim with a purpose and use #BGSUDenimDay on April 26.

In this group hosted at the BGSU Counseling Center, students will have a chance to explore their feelings about themselves and their bodies in a supportive environment. We will work to explore the way students think about themselves, their bodies and their appearance to explore ways to feel more confident with who they are. This group meets weekly, and it is a drop-in group, meaning that students can attend as they are able. The Counseling Center welcomes all students. We aspire to respect cultural, individual and role differences. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive and affirming climate for individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, genders, gender identities, sexual/affectional orientations, religions, ages, abilities, sizes, socioeconomic statuses, languages and cultures.
