All throughout April, the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center works
to raise awareness within the community about issues of sexual violence.In past years we joined
national efforts to Decide to End Sexual Violence through a variety
of events.
The Denim Day campaign was part of an international protest
of an Italian High Court decision to overturn a rape conviction because the
victim was wearing jeans. The Italian Supreme Court overturned a conviction
against
a 45-year-old suspect because his 18-year-old victim was wearing jeans at the
time of the attack. The
Court stated in its decision that, "It is common knowledge...that jeans
cannot even be partly removed without effective help of the person wearing them...and
it is impossible if the victim is struggling with all her might." The
judgment sparked a worldwide outcry from those who understand that coercion,
threats and
violence go hand-in-hand with the act of rape. The verdict became an international symbol
of myth-based injustice for sexual assault victims. As part of Denim Day, the Monterey
County Rape Crisis Center will coordinate with local businesses and
cafes
to
spread
the word about sexual violence within our community.
