Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to a court case in Italy where the judge ruled that one woman could not have been sexually assaulted because her jeans were too tight for anyone to get them off without her assistance. Since then, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual harassment, abuse, assault, and rape.
