U.S. Marines and staff members with U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa participating in Denim Day to raise awareness for sexual assault prevention, pose for a photo at U.S. Army Garrison Panzer Kaserne in Boeblingen, Germany on April 24, 2024. The initiative stems from a 1998 incident in Italy, where a woman was assaulted by her driving instructor. Despite the perpetrator's conviction, the Italian Supreme Court controversially overturned the verdict, citing the victim's attire—tight jeans—as implying consent. This sparked widespread outrage, prompting female members of the Italian Parliament to protest by wearing jeans. This episode underscores the dangerous fallacy that one's clothing choices can indicate consent. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mary Linniman)
