Follow on Google News | A Fashionable Walk: BK Style Foundation Joined Denim Day NYC In The Walk Against Sexual ViolenceThe Walk Began at Brooklyn Borough Hall and Ended on the Steps of City Hall Where Elected Officials and Supporters Gathered for the Movement's Annual Press Conference
By: BK Style Foundation Denim Day NYC began out of a case in which a rape conviction was overturned because the judge reasoned the victim's tight jeans meant that she had to have helped her assailant remove them, implying consent. People were outraged all over the world and wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes and myths surrounding sexual assault. For the first time ever, Fashion Week Brooklyn model and survivor Tiffany Daure shared her story of sexual assault, which brought some of the survivors and supporters to tears. During an interview with WPIX 11, Tiffany Daure said: "I am so thankful to all the organizations including BK Style who gave me the courage to speak up."
