Friends Against Family Violence will be holding their Denim Day event today. It is a selected day to take action and bring awareness by encouraging people to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence. The day comes following a high profile Italian rape trial where the survivor was blamed for her rape because of the type of jeans she had on. Friends Against Family Violence will be meeting in Vernal and Roosevelt today with signs to share messages while spreading awareness to those that pass by. They will be in Vernal from 4 to 4:30pm on Main Street in front of the Uintah County Library and in Roosevelt from 5 to 5:30pm at Central Park. Be sure to show your support by wearing your denim.
