Denim Day started as a protest when a judge determined a victim wasn’t assaulted because she had on tight jeans. Ridiculous, right? The reason for Denim Day is that that we do not protect victims in court. So many victims end up having more trauma from the system that is supposed to protect them. It’s time to stop preparing victims to be abused in court, and instead stop allowing victims to be abused in court. It can be done. We just have to stop accepting the unacceptable. ♡ follow @defendsurvi
