Our Denim Day 2019 Sexual Assault Awareness Campaign is launching this month and we want to thank all of the incredible advocates, young #HSFI designers and teaching staff, and a special thank you to our design instructors and co-designers Sergio Guadarrama and Kade Johnson. Thank you so much to @rialtojeanproject for donating all of the denim and paint to our @beautyforfreedom #ProjectGhana students from @challengingheights This is youth activism through fashion at a really exciting level with many layers. The students who are designing and the young survivors of labor trafficking and at-risk youth who have painted this denim and using their creative voices to advocate for victims and survivors of sexual violence around the globe!!! Here are a few stats: Sexual violence is a major public health issue. • 1 in 5 women (18.3%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives • 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives Sexual violence other than rape reveals the full scope of the problem. • Nearly 1 in 2 women (44.6%) experienced sexual violence victimization other than rape at some point in their lives • 1 in 5 men (22.2%) experienced sexual violence victimization other than rape at some point in their lives . . . . . So much love and appreciation our campaign model the #divine activist and artist @indyamoore “The future is restorative accountability”. #TheFutureIs #DenimDay2019 #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth #SAAM @celestinocouture @beautyforfreedom @stepstoendfv @denimday @geremydubensky @aggie1202 @rialtojeanproject @challengingheights @fashionhighnyc @denimdaynyc #YouthActivismInAction #CelestinoMoments #WomenOfCelestino @hairbybklynwarhol @tommymakeup_ @viola_k_nyc @alchemicalstudios Video by @jerrydigital https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuDkxnl9q-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ozo6npr5r4yc

I’m wearing jeans today to support all of the women who were not believed when they reported a sexual assault because of the clothes they were wearing. If someone wants to sexually assault me my tight jeans won’t stop them because it’s about their need to dominate, not because of what I’m wearing. #denimday2019 Learn more at: https://www.denimdayinfo.org/why-denim (And I promise my foot looks much more injured than it actually is. I’m doing fine, I’m just not supposed to move my toes for a little while.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwowuSSH2WA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f49jhisjdbwp

For many years I wasn’t ready to talk about my experiences or make peace with being sexually assaulted , due to the shame and stigma that was surrounded by it . Knowing I’d be asked what I was wearing ... how was I acting ... it’s a shame that when a person is a victim of sexual assault we treat them like they are they guilty ones . It took me years to realize that it wasn’t my fault . Today is an important day for many survivors of #sexualassult . Today is the day we all stand together in solidarity for our stories and experiences and others . We stand up to those who have sexual assaulted others ... Thank you @_ms_white & @darby.iii for having me be a part of the #denimobsession shoot . I was a true honour to stand with all of you . I look at this picture and realize that I made peace with it and I’ll no longer be a victim... i will continue to thrive and survive! . . . . . . . . #sexualassult #denimday #denimday2019 #denimobsession #sexualassultawareness #therealsvetlana #mtlinfluencer #canadianinfluencer #mtlinfluencers #mtlbloggers #canadianbloggers #russianinfluencer #standupforyourself #april24th #instagood #instamood #pictureoftheday (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpkoykA8nt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14uvec9boczoi
