SR 14 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Denim Day.

Senate Resolution 14 designates April 2025 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in California and officially recognizes April 30, 2025, as "Denim Day." The resolution encourages all Californians to wear jeans on Denim Day to symbolically reject victim-blaming attitudes and emphasize that no one ever invites sexual assault. It does not create new laws or alter legal standards, but serves as a symbolic public awareness effort to support survivors and challenge harmful misconceptions about sexual violence. The resolution references California's prior legislative action (AB 939) that already prohibits dress as evidence of consent in sexual assault cases.
