The Center for Empowerment and Education, formerly the Women's Center of Greater Danbury, is marking Denim Day today.  The commemoration began in the 90's after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt --since the victim was wearing tight jeans --she must have helped the person who raped her remove them, thereby implying consent. The following day, women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.  Wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against sexual harassment, abuse, assault and rape.
