Denim Day

Wed, Apr 30, 2025

Denim Day is Wednesday, April 30th. Wear your denim all day to show support for survivors of sexual violence. Tag @cwge_bgsu on Instagram. 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. To individuals with disabilities, please indicate if you need additional services, assistance, or modifications to fully participate in this event either by contacting the CWGE or Accessibility Services at access@bgsu.edu or 419-372-8495. Please notify Accessibility Services prior to the event. If you have any questions, please contact the Center for Women and Gender Equity (CWGE) office at cwge@bgsu.edu.

Don't miss the final CWGE Research Seminar of the Spring!   Higher Education Administration PhD Candidate Loni Stouffer will present her research, "Navigating Feminist Work in the United States' Higher Education Landscape: Stories of Leaders of Women's and Gender Centers," which centers the stories that directors of campus-based Women's and Gender Centers (WGC) share about their experiences doing feminist work in the United States' current political climate and in states (Ohio, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Idaho) that have proposed legislation that directly challenges diversity, equity, and inclusion work in higher education. This thought-provoking session will explore how these directors navigate significant external pressures while continuing to provide vital support services that address campus inequities and advocate for marginalized students.    Why You Should Attend:  Gain a deeper understanding of current issues Engage in an interactive discussion Network with fellow students, faculty, and staff Please RSVP by contacting cwge@bgsu.edu, and indicate whether you plan to attend in person or via Zoom.
