Now in our 50th year of serving Ventura County, the Coalition for Family Harmony—founded in 1976 in Oxnard, CA—is the only rape crisis center in the region to provide emergency domestic violence shelters counseling, legal services, and a 24-hour hotline with crisis response.
Our main fundraiser every year is Denim Day. It is held on the last Wednesday of April during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and raises awareness about sexual violence and challenges victim blaming. It began after a 1998 Italian court overturned a rape conviction, suggesting tight jeans implied consent. In protest, women in Italy’s Parliament wore jeans—sparking a global movement. Wearing denim shows support for survivors and promotes education about consent and prevention.
