On April 29th, we invite the Stanford community to wear jeans or any denim clothing with a purpose. Denim becomes a visible way to stand in solidarity with survivors and challenge harmful myths about sexual violence.

Join us at the Denim Day Resource Fair, where you can learn about campus and local resources. Resource that will be there are 

• The SHARE Title IX and Title VI 

• SUPER 

• Weiland Health Initiatives 

• PEERs 

• Flip the Script 

• CAPS 

• YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley 

• The Bridge Peer Counseling Center

• SHPRC

We encourage you to participate, take photos, and share why Denim Day matters to you. Tag @shareatstanford and use #SAAMatStanford and #DenimDayatStanford so we can highlight your voice and our collective commitment to prevention and support.

You can also follow @shareatstanford throughout the month for Denim Day quotes and reflections from students, staff, and faculty across campus.

What is Denim Day?
For over 20 years, the Peace Over Violence Denim Day campaign has taken place each April during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It began in response to a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court that overturned a rape conviction, citing the victim’s tight jeans as a sign of implied consent. In response, women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans to work the next day in solidarity with the survivor, sparking what has become a global movement.

This program is brought to you by the SHARE Title IX and Title VI Office  as part of efforts to raise awareness during April: Sexual Assault Awareness Month. To learn more about programming during SAAM, check out bit.ly/SHARESAAM2026

Accommodations are available. If you have questions, please reach out to shareeducation@stanford.edu
