SUMMARY:SlutWalk 2019 (Organization of Women Leaders Event)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day full of smashing rape culture\, ending victim blaming\, and supporting survivors at this event hosted by Central Michigan University’s Organization of Women Leaders. \nR.I.S.E. advocates will provide support during the march/rally from 1-3 PM and the agency will be at the debrief from 3-4:30 PM with additional resources. \nThis event originates from a 2011 police address at a York University safety forum at Osgoode Hall Law School regarding rape on college campuses. The officer said\, when talking about how women can avoid rape\, that women should avoid dressing like “sluts”. After hearing this narrative\, along with many others that blame survivors\, students on campuses across the United States and Canada have organized SlutWalk events. \nSlutWalk at CMU is an opportunity for students\, staff\, and community members to stand up against victim blaming\, street harassment\, and rape culture. The event also aims to provide a space for survivors to be empowered and a platform to share their experiences if they feel comfortable doing so. \nOWLs welcomes everyone who wants to take a stand against sexual violence and rape culture and support survivors to attend SlutWalk at CMU! For accommodations\, please email owlsatcmu@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Denim Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:On April 24\, 2019\, millions of people across the world will wear jeans with a purpose\, support survivors\, and educate themselves and others about all forms of sexual violence. \nThe campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans\, thereby implying consent. The following day\, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to this case and the activism surrounding it. Since then\, what started as a local campaign to bring awareness to victim blaming and destructive myths that surround sexual violence has grown into a movement. As the longest running sexual violence prevention and education campaign in history\, Denim Day asks community members\, elected officials\, businesses and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence. \nYou can participate in Denim Day from anywhere! To show us your support during the last week of Sexual Assault Awareness Month\, just post your selfie wearing denim on Facebook\, Twitter\, or Instagram and tag RISE. \nHashtags to use: #SAAM #denimday #RISEupagainstSA \nFind more info on the history of Denim Day here.
