In 1999, the Italian Supreme Court reversed the conviction of a man who had raped a teenager. For what reason?  Since the survivor had been wearing tight jeans at the time of the assault, the assumption was that she must have helped the man remove her jeans thereby implying consensual sex.

This story subsequently prompted protests led by women of the Italian Parliament, spreading globally and inspiring Denim Day, which takes place on April 24th this year.

In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Office of Student Equity and Support (OSEC) is handing out denim patches to adorn your jeans and show your support. Let's stop misconceptions about sexual violence together, pick up your denim patch on Aril 17th!

Where: Chamberlain Student Center Lobby

When: Wednesday, April 17th at 12:00 PM

The Office of Student Equity and Compliance (OSEC) offers awareness training university-wide. The focus is on Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in all educational settings for both students and employees and Discrimination, Harassment and retaliation.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that states,  “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects people from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. It provides that “No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

The target audience for this training event includes faculty, students, groups, clubs and organizations. 

To book an event, please forward the best date/time for your event to Margie Viggiano at viggianom@rowan.edu , indicate your preference of either face-to face or virtual setting.
