April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and today is Denim Day. These designations are designed to increase awareness about sexual assault and the societal behaviors and perceptions that must be changed. Safehouse Center executive director Barbara Niess-May joins WEMU's David Fair to discuss what Denim Day has accomplished and what still needs to be done.
