The Senate Resolution commends the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault (LaFASA) and designates April 30, 2025, as Denim Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. This observance is rooted in a significant event from April 24, 1998, when a court in Italy ruled that a woman was not sexually assaulted due to the tightness of her jeans, which sparked a global movement against victim-blaming and highlighted the need for societal change regarding attitudes toward sexual violence. Denim Day serves as a powerful symbol of protest, encouraging individuals to wear denim in solidarity with survivors and to raise awareness about consent and the importance of supporting victims.

The resolution acknowledges LaFASA's leadership in advocating for survivors, engaging community advocates, and working to change social norms to eliminate sexual violence in Louisiana. It emphasizes the importance of honoring survivors and committing to a future free from sexual violence, where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. A copy of the resolution will be sent to LaFASA's executive director, Rafael de Castro, to recognize the organization's efforts in promoting awareness of Denim Day.
