Red Flags and Body Bags Official Site

This Denim Day special is live with Dana and Chloe on Red Flags and Body Bags.

What started as one 18-year-old girl’s r*pe case in Italy in 1992 became a worldwide symbol of resistance when the Supreme Court overturned her attacker’s conviction — because she was wearing tight jeans. The court literally ruled that “it is nearly impossible to slip off tight jeans without the active collaboration of the person wearing them.”

Twenty-six years later in Cork, Ireland, a defense barrister held up a 17-year-old r*pe victim’s lace th*ng in open court and told the jury: “You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a th*ng with a lace front.”

Both cases used clothing as “evidence” of consent — and both sparked massive protests that gave birth to Denim Day.

In this powerful live episode we break down:

• The full stories behind the “jeans alibi” and the “thong trial”
• How victim-blaming still happens in courtrooms today
• The red flags every listener needs to recognize
• Why wearing denim on the last Wednesday of April is more than just a trend

We also share practical ways to spot and push back against clothing-based victim-blaming, plus resources for survivors.

Resources (pinned in comments & show notes):

• National Sexual Assault Hotline (US): 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or rainn.org
• Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault
• DenimDay.org

If you or someone you know has been impacted by sexual violence, you are believed. What you were wearing was never consent.
