Denim Day

On Denim Day, which takes place on the last Wednesday in April — April 26 this year — we stand in solidarity with sexual assault survivors and victims. Celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of April, Denim Day started as a campaign against sexual assault apologists. In the summer of 1998 in Italy, an 18-year-old girl was raped by her 45-year-old driving instructor. One year later, the perpetrator was released after the court overturned his sentence. He appealed that the girl had had ‘consensual’ sex with him because she was wearing tight jeans that could have only been taken off with her help. The next day, Italian women showed up in jeans to their workplaces as a way to protest the absurdity of the overturned sentence.

History of Denim Day

Denim Day was first celebrated in 1999 when an Italian court granted the appeal of a rapist and overturned his sentence. Sparking worldwide outrage and protests, Italian women showed up to work wearing denim jeans and other clothing articles. The Californian Senate and Assembly also supported their fellow human beings and, in a show of respect, American women stepped into the Parliament also sporting jeans. Patricia Giggans, who is an American feminist and the executive director of LA’s Commission on Assaults Against Women (now known as Peace Over Violence), was inspired by these events and named the last Wednesday of every April as Denim Day.

For the 18-year-old girl who was raped in 1992, it began as a normal day when she was picked up by her driving instructor. However, things soon took a turn for the worst when he raped her. Before she was dropped off at home, the rapist threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Later that day, she informed her parents of the incident and soon the rapist was arrested and prosecuted. Yet, a year later, he appealed his case and was granted freedom after the court agreed to his claim that the victim’s tight jeans couldn’t have been taken off without her help.

Sexual assault is traumatizing. It is difficult to discuss and, as a result of this, sexual assault perpetrators often walk away scot-free. Moreover, the survivors and victims are more often than not blamed for the incident. Such attitudes have also led to lax laws that do not help the survivors and the victims much. Denim Day, thus, aims to rid the world of such attitudes and laws to bring about real justice and support to the ones who deserve it.

Denim Day timeline

1970 Awareness Month

April is designated as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the U.S. as preventative measures rise.

Denim Day FAQs

What day is National Denim Day?

National Denim Day is observed on the last Wednesday of April, falling on April 28 in 2021.

How did Denim Day start?

Denim Day started after a 1998 Italian Supreme Court decision overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. This led to a movement of women wearing denim in solidarity with the victim.

What does denim mean?

Denim specifically is a firmly twilled cotton fabric with white thread as a filling and colored warp.

How to Observe Denim Day

Wear denim

Raise your voice

Spread awareness

One of the best ways to observe this day is by wearing denim. It doesn’t have to be jeans as you can wear denim jackets, shirts, hats, etc.

Raise your voice in support of the survivors and victims. Do not stay silent for them and yourself. Show the perpetrators that you stand against them and will do anything to stop them.

Spread awareness in your circles and on social media. Call out the apologists for their twisted viewpoints. It’s the 21st century and, while we may have progressed tremendously in the fields of science and technology, many of us still have orthodox views on sexual assault and other societal issues.

5 Facts About Sexual Assault That Will Blow Your Mind

One sexual assault per min

0.5% conviction rate

80% of survivors suffer mentally/physically

Rape survivors are more suicidal

College campus sexual assaults

It is reported that every 73 seconds an American is sexually assaulted.

Out of 1,000 perpetrators, only five are sentenced to prison.

About four of five sexual assault survivors tend to suffer from chronic physical and/or mental conditions.

Rape survivors are 13 times more likely to commit suicide than those who are never a victim of crime.

20% of women and 4% of men will be sexually assaulted while they are at college.

Why Denim Day is Important

It’s a celebration of determination

It’s a celebration of unity

It’s a celebration of women power

Sheer determination can help us achieve many things. It was through determination alone that many legislations and acts were passed in favor of sexual assault survivors. Had people given up, orthodox laws would still have been in place.

Both men and women, of all ages and backgrounds, can be victims of sexual assault. Therefore, we must show our support and solidarity with them. Coming together as a community will lead to a better future for generations to come.

Had it not been for women supporting women during 1999, Denim Day would not have existed today. Women can be each other’s biggest allies as they come from shared experiences due to patriarchy.

No eh mu cerrao pero lo hablo, y sementiende... y mencanta, ca´día má. Soy de una tierra que mandaba emperadores a Roma antes de que otros empezaran a ser algo, una tierra que ha visto pasar a tartesos, fenicios, cartagineses, romanos, visigodos, árabes, judíos y cristianos; una tierra donde se levantaron la Giralda, la Alhambra, la Mezquita de Cçordoba, el Monasterio de la Cartuja, Real Alcázar de Sevilla, Palacio del Virrey Laserna,una tierra que dio de mamar a Trajano, Séneca y Adriano, a Maimónides y Averroes, que descubrió un continente, que vio nacer a Lorca, Cernuda, Vicente Aleixandre y Bécquer, a los Machado,Juan Ramón Jiménez y los Álvarez Quintero, a Montañés y Mesa, a Velázquez y Murillo, Picasso,Valdés Leal, Alonso Cano, Vázquez Díaz y a Falla y Turina,Victoria Kent, Mariana Pineda, Amalia López Cabrera, María Zambrano y Marcelo Spínola, y a muchos más; una tierra donde la cultura y la historia brotan en cualquier esquina a cualquier hora; una tierra que no es más pero, sobre todo, no es menos que ninguna; una tierra que te permite llevar la blanca y verde dentro y no por ello dejar de querer a la roja y gualda, porque Andalucía sin España no se entiende y España sin Andalucía no sería ella... Y que no se olvide, casi 1000 km de playa, sierras, el Coto Doñana, nieve y montañas y desierto, y yo...

"On the Great Alkali Plain" part 2, from Letters from Watson, arrived in my inbox this morning, bringing with it a predictable cloud of dust from approaching horses (since this isn't a George R.R. Martin novel, so we're not going to introduce characters just to kill them off immediately).

But what a caravan! When the head of it had reached the base of the mountains, the rear was not yet visible on the horizon. Right across the enormous plain stretched the straggling array, waggons and carts, men on horseback, and men on foot. Innumerable women who staggered along under burdens, and children who toddled beside the waggons or peeped out from under the white coverings.

Either we're running late on the Oregon Trail (since Doyle did not have social media to live-blog progress across the dusty waste) or the year 1847 is important, and these are Mormons.

“Shall I go forward and see, Brother Stangerson,” asked one of the band.

These have got to be Mormons.

“Nigh upon ten thousand,” said one of the young men; “we are the persecuted children of God—the chosen of the Angel Merona.”

Tell me you're a Mormon without telling me you're a Mormon.

“We are the Mormons,” answered his companions with one voice.

OMG, they're Mormons.

This makes the geographic names a little dicey -- the Mormon Trail ran through Wyoming, similar but not identical to today's I-80, so the Rio Grande River should be nowhere nearby -- but Doyle didn't have access to Google Maps, and it's not like his readers in the UK would go factcheck. Even with the Transcontinental Railroad completed back in 1869, most places in the Great American Desert were still remote in the 1880s, and California on the far end was still feeling the effects of isolation. Doyle also misspells the Angel Moroni and uses a masculine-ending name on a Sierra, so he's working from popular myth and the memory of things he's read. I wonder how many letters with corrections he received.

(At the time Doyle was writing, "Mormon" was the term used by the group themselves. Since about the 1980s, church leadership started urging the use of "Latter-Day Saints" instead. When I lived in Phoenix, that's near a big LDS population in Mesa, so I wince at using the older term. From here on out, if I'm quoting Doyle, I'll use "Mormon," but if I'm talking, I'll stick to LDS.)

The big reason the LDS wagon train is headed west is because they practiced polygamy at the time, and this was considered both illegal and immoral in larger U.S. society. (That's not a critique of polyamory today, when enthusiastic concept and clear rules are normalized.)

So far Doyle's account of the LDS party is generally positive -- they're organized, efficient, knowledgeable about their surroundings, prepared for danger, and responsible toward people needing rescue, if a bit holier-than-thou -- but I can't believe he's going to handle polygamy with anything other than distaste.

Polygamy is the thing LDS have been known for (to their chagrin after the mainstream LDS church banned it), so at the end of this section, Doyle's original audience is split into two groups:

Readers who have no real idea what a "Mormon" is and accept it as just one more crazy American thing, who now figure Lucy is rescued and wonder what goes wrong later to lead to murder; and

Readers who know about polygamy and are feeling dread for Lucy.

International Day of Forests

International Day of Forests is celebrated on the 21st day of every March. Forests cover the dominant terrestrial ecosystem of the planet and are distributed across the globe. It is a large area that usually has hundreds and thousands of trees, herbs, shrubs, other living organisms and more. The term forest usually defines the presence of trees in ample number, and the Earth has different types of forests and a wide variety of trees present in it. Trees are playing a significant role in maintaining the environment and living beings surviving on it. They are solely responsible for producing the vast majority of air or oxygen without which life would be impossible. For various reasons, forests are being depleted, destroyed and several millions of hectares of forests are cut down. With the increase in deforestation activities, the ecological system has been degraded completely. International Day of Forests or Forest Day is an awareness Day celebrated in such a way to let people understand the importance of forests and the essential role of trees in our lives. The international Day will also address on issues such as deforestation.

“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

History of International Day of Forests

The International Day of Forests (IDF) has been celebrated since the year 2013. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21st March as IDF on November 28, 2012. Since then, the Day has been observed with various events and activities to raise the awareness about the importance and benefits of the forests, its types, trees outside the forests to the people of current and future generations. Earlier to this IDF, World Forestry Day had been observed which has originated in 1971 at the 23rd General Assembly of the European Confederation of Agriculture. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) had established it and started celebrating it from the year 1972 till 2012. IFD is created to raise awareness about the forests and issues of deforestations as a whole. Each year, IDF or Forest Day is celebrated with a theme which is chosen by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests.

On each Forest Day, countries from all over the world are encouraged to undertake useful efforts to organize any local, national, or international activities or events involving forests and trees. Also, the United Nations works together with the governments, community organizations, and the general public as a way to promote both local and global activities for the IDF. Activities include tree planting campaigns, photo exhibits that portray the importance forests and trees, and sharing infographics, videos, news messages via social and other media. As human society and forests are influencing each other in both positive and negative ways, it is vital to promote awareness about the role of forests as with the humankind. Forests are providing the ecosystem services to humans and are serving as tourist attractions.

However, human activities like harvesting forest resources, deforestation, and more have negatively affected the forest ecosystems and which in turn are affecting the human life indirectly through natural disasters and environmental changes. The forests account for about 75 percent of the gross primary productivity of the Earth’s biosphere. It contains about 80 percent of the Earth’s plant biomass. According to the survey by FAO in 2006, forests covered four billion hectares, i.e., 15 million square miles or approximately 30 percent of the world’s land area in total. It contains more than 60,000 tree species and in which many as of them are yet unidentified species. Forests are actively contributing to the balance of oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity in the air and they also protect the watersheds, which supply fresh water to the rivers.

Forests are the primary source of food, fibre, water and medicines for about 1.6 billion of the world’s poorest people approximately. It also included the indigenous peoples with unique cultures. More than 13 million hectares, i.e., 32 million acres of forests are lost every year which is an area roughly the size of England. Forests are providing shelter for 80 percent of the terrestrial species including animals, plants and insects. It is essential to know that the forests are playing a critical role in the climate change including the global warming. According to the UN, deforestation results in 12 to18 percent of the world’s carbon emissions which is almost equal to all the CO2 from the global transport sector. Equally crucial, the healthy forests are found to be one of the world’s primary ‘carbon sinks.’

How to Celebrate International Day of Forests

Celebrating the International Day of Forests is quite simple. Get to know more about the forests, their role in ecological balance and different types of forest ecosystems. On this awareness Day, you can start planting a tree and encourage people around you to do so. Spread information regarding the positive effects the environment gains with proper maintenance of the forests. Make an initiative to save the planet from greenhouse emission, pollution, climate changes and more by planting as many trees as you can. You can start campaigns joining with any organization to work towards saving the Planet actively.

Elegía Para N. N.

Si es demasiado lejos para tí, dilo. Habrías podido correr sobre las pequeñas olas del Báltico, atravesar el campo de Dinamarca, la floresta de hayas, virar hacia el océano, y ya está, cerca, el Labrador, blanco en esta estación del año. Tú, que soñabas una isla solitaria, si temes las ciudades, el parpadeo de los fuegos sobre las autorrutas, habrías podido tomar el camino de los bosques sordos, sobre torrentes revueltos y azules, y rastros del ciervo y del reno, hasta las Sierras, hasta las minas de oro abandonadas. El Río Sacramento te habría llevado entonces, por entre las colinas recubiertas de encinas espinosas. Todavía un bosque de eucaliptos, y estarás en mi casa.

Es cierto, cuando la manzanita florece, y la bahía es azul en las mañanas de primavera, yo pienso a mi pesar en la casa entre lagos y en las redes recogidas bajo el cielo Lituano. La cabaña donde te despojabas de tu traje antes del baño se cambió para siempre en un cristal abstracto. Y en él está la oscura miel de la tarde, junto al balcón, y las pequeñas lechuzas, graciosas, y el olor de los arneses.

Cómo podíamos vivir entonces, yo no puedo decirlo. Las costumbres, los trajes, vibran imprecisos, inconsistentes, tensos hacia el final. Es tal vez que pensábamos en las cosas tal como son? El saber de los años fogosos ha enrojecido los caballos ante la forja, y las pequeñas columnas en el mercado de la aldea, y los peldaños de madera y la peluca de Mamá Fliegeltaub.

Mucho hemos aprendido, tú bien lo sabes: cómo nos es quitado, cosa por cosa, todo aquello que no podía ser, la gente, las comarcas. Y el corazón no muere cuando uno creyó que debería, pero sonreímos, el té y el pan sobre la mesa. Sólo el remordimiento de no haber amado como se debe esa pálida ceniza de Sachsenhausen con un amor absoluto, que no está a la medida del hombre.

Tú te has acostumbrado a nuevos inviernos, húmedos, a la ciudad donde la sangre del propietario alemán fue raspada de los muros, y a donde él jamás regresó. Tampoco yo he llevado más de lo que podía, ciudades y país. No se puede entrar dos veces en el mismo lago, sobre hojas descompuestas de abedul, y quebrando una estrecha estría de sol.

Tus faltas y las mías, no fueron grandes faltas, tus secretos y los míos, no eran grandes secretos. Cuando te anudan la mandíbula con un pañuelo, cuando te ponen una cruz entre los dedos, y a lo lejos un perro ladra, brilla una estrella.

No, no es porque estés tan lejos que no has venido el otro día, la otra noche. De año en año madura en nosotros y nos invadirá, yo, como tú, lo he comprendido: la indiferencia.

Berkeley, 1963
