Bill Summary
Relative to Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Denim Day California.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution designates April 2013 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and April 24, 2013, as "Denim Day California," encouraging everyone to wear jeans on that day to raise public awareness about sexual assault and to communicate that there is never an excuse or invitation for rape. The resolution highlights the significant prevalence of sexual assault in California and the United States, affecting individuals of all genders, ages, and backgrounds, and acknowledges the profound physical, emotional, and long-lasting consequences for survivors. It also references the origin of Denim Day, which began in Italy in protest of a court decision that wrongly suggested tight jeans implied consent, and emphasizes the importance of supporting survivors with dignity and compassion, challenging harmful attitudes, and holding perpetrators accountable.
