 The campaign was originally triggered by a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans implying that there was consent. The following day the women in the Italian parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with that victim. At the Office of Emergency Services we are very pleased to provide funding to Calcasa and to California's 84 rape crisis centers over 25 million dollars as they continue to work to eradicate sexual violence and provide comprehensive services to victims of sexual assault in all 58 California counties. We all need to act to ensure that our college campuses, our workplaces and our communities are safe and free from sexual violence. Thank you for coming out here today.
