** Denim Day 2021: A Success!
------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you to everyone who participated in Denim Day 2021, making this campaign a huge success! With your participation and support, we were able to reach millions of individuals in all fifty states and countries all over the world. In our 22nd year, this campaign continues to spread messages of violence prevention, solidarity, togetherness and to educate on issues surrounding all forms of sexual violence. We couldn’t have done it without you!

This year, we added two new themes “We Believe Survivors” and “We Protect Each Other” - and a new look to fit the theme and the transitional moment in time we find ourselves in. Developed in partnership with el Creativo ([link removed]) , the floral flourishing images brought to life a rebirth that we are experiencing collectively, and also of the resiliency of survivors. It is about new life, growth, and beauty and seamlessly integrated into our new themes and our campaign this year.
We are inspired by all of the testimonies, stories, photos and reports of Denim Days all over the world. Our movement continues to get stronger and gain momentum. Especially after this last year, this outpouring of support propels us and encourages us to continue to stand up for each other and survivors. We believe survivors. We protect each other. Together we are working toward a world without violence.
