Denim Day / Clothesline Project
Denim Day - In 1998, an Italian Supreme Court decision overturned a rape convictionbecause the victim wore jeans. People all over the world were outraged. Wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.

Clothesline Project - The clothesline project is a visual display that calls attention to violence against women. The project displays t-shirts designed by female survivors of violence and their families and friends. The t-shirts hang side by side to "Break the Silence" and to support the solidarity of the victims. Victims can be men or children as well. See photos from Denim Day
