Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 30, 2025, as Denim Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 30, 2025, as Denim Day in New York State, highlighting the significance of raising awareness about sexual violence. The resolution traces the origins of Denim Day to a 1999 Italian Supreme Court case where a rape conviction was overturned based on the victim's clothing, which sparked public outrage and led women to wear denim in protest. The document emphasizes the alarming statistics of sexual violence, noting that nearly 50% of women and 20% of men have been or will be victims, with children, adolescents, individuals with developmental disabilities, and LGBTQ+ individuals being particularly vulnerable. By supporting the Scarsdale Coalition on Family Violence's efforts, the resolution aims to educate communities about the impact of sexual assault and empower victims. The resolution requests that copies be transmitted to Governor Hochul and the Scarsdale Coalition on Family Violence, symbolizing a commitment to raising awareness and combating sexual violence through this annual observance.
