Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Posted on by Priscilla Meza

April is a powerful month for all agencies that serve Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence populations since there is a large overlap of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence primary with intimate partner violence that effect the personnel and professional life such as family, friends, work, extracurricular activities. This is the month that all agencies nonprofit and alike unite as one and take a stand against sexual assault. It should always be remembered that “No” means “No”, when an individual say “No”, it does not mean that their eyes are saying yes or that they are playing hard to get. No man, women, or child wants to be sexually assaulted!

Unite with your local Rape Crisis Center and spread the word. Use social media sites and post pictures of you strutting your jeans (Denim Days), spread the words with #denimdaysfresno or if not a social media advocate, be available if you know someone that needs resources or a shoulder to lean on.

Denim Day!!!!

Wear your jeans in support of Denim Day, a day that we stand as one against Sexual Assault!

In the 1990’s a young women was sexually assaulted by a tuck driver in Italy, the courts ruled the perpetrator guilty but was overturned by a Supreme Court Judge with the fact that  the Survivor was wearing tight Jeans and believed she had to have participated in the removal of her very tight jeans which makes her rape a consensual sex instead. Hence Denim Day was conceived in support of all survivors of sexual assault, it does not matter if you are wearing the most loose fitting clothes to the very tightest, no means no!
