This April 29, we wear denim with a purpose. Denim Day began as a protest after an Italian court overturned a conviction because the survivor wore tight jeans. Today, it is a global movement to shatter the myth that clothing equals consent. At SEPA Mujer, we know that awareness must lead to action. One in three women will experience intimate partner violence in her lifetime. These aren’t just statistics—they are our neighbors, friends, and sisters. What can you do? Reject victim-blaming. Believe survivors when they share their stories. Act every day to build a community rooted in dignity and safety. Join us. Wear your denim today to show that there is NEVER an excuse for sexual assault. #DenimDay #SAAM26 #25YearsStronger #Consent #SEPAMujer Este 29 de abril, nos vestimos de mezclilla (denim) con un propósito. El “Denim Day” comenzó como una protesta después de que un tribunal anulara una condena porque la sobreviviente vestía jeans ajustados. Hoy, es un movimiento global para destruir el mito de que la ropa significa consentimiento. En SEPA Mujer, sabemos que la concienciación debe llevar a la acción. Una de cada tres mujeres experimentará violencia por parte de su pareja en su vida. Estos no son solo datos: son nuestras vecinas, amigas y hermanas. ¿Qué puedes hacer tú? Rechaza los comentarios que culpan a la víctima. Cree a las sobrevivientes cuando comparten sus historias. Actúa cada día para construir una comunidad basada en la dignidad y la seguridad. Únete a nosotros. Usa tus jeans hoy para demostrar que NUNCA hay una excusa para la agresión sexual. DenimDay SAAM26 NiUnaMenos ElConsentimientoNoSeNegocia SEPAMujer
