Gisèle Pelicot: A Revolutionary Figure in the Fight Against Rape in France
Gisèle Pelicot has become a symbol of courage and feminism as she faces dozens of her alleged rapists in France’s largest rape trial. Women have rallied outside the courtroom to support her, raising critical questions about male attitudes towards consent and sexual violence. As the trial proceeds, public discourse in France shifts, prompting discussions on the normalization of sexual violence and the need for societal change. The case is indicative of a broader challenge against pervasive misogyny and inadequacies in the justice system regarding sexual assault cases.
