SUMMARY:Denim Day
DESCRIPTION:Denim Day is a global campaign held every year on the last Wednesday in April in honor of SAAM. The campaign began after a controversial ruling by the Italian Supreme Court\, where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices argued that since the victim was wearing tight jeans\, she must have helped her attacker remove them\, implying consent. In response\, the women of the Italian Parliament wore jeans to work the following day in solidarity with the victim. \nThis Denim Day\, we ask you to join us by wearing denim\, sharing photos\, and tagging Resilience (@ResilienceChi) on social media to stand against victim-blaming and show support for survivors everywhere.

SUMMARY:Standing Silent Witness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Standing Silent Witness\, Resilience’s signature event for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (#SAAMChi). In this powerful visual demonstration of the silencing of survivors of sexual violence\, participants will gather silently for one hour\, wearing t-shirts adorned with messages and stories protesting sexual violence and rape culture. \nWe invite you to stay for as long as you feel comfortable—whether standing or sitting. This event unites community members\, advocates\, volunteers\, and survivors\, all amplifying the voices of those too often silenced. At the end of the hour\, we will break the silence and hear directly from survivors.  \nThis event is free and open to all. Together\, we’ll show our strength in numbers\, spark essential conversations\, and raise awareness about the impact of sexual violence.
