Denim Day
- New York City 04/25/2014 (WBAI)

On the steps of City Hall this week, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer led a rally to raise awareness about Sexual Violence.

“It’s not just women who are victims. 1 in 71 men report being raped at some point in their lives, so just like women men face a terrible stigma.”

The occasion -- Denim Day.  The theme this year -- Empowering Men to Speak Out Against Sexual Violence.

As WBAI's Linda Perry reports, participants at the rally say attitude shifts and systemic changes are needed.
