The recent sentencing of defendants to three to 20 years in prison for horrific sexual violence against Gisèle Pelicot has triggered significant backlash from feminist groups in France. The public trial, which involved 51 defendants and extensive evidence, highlighted the plight of Pelicot, who was assaulted over a decade. The verdict has reignited discussions on sexual consent and the inadequacy of legal protections, with many advocating for stricter laws. Emotions ran high outside the courtroom, as demonstrators expressed their anger towards the lenient sentences, demanding accountability for the patriarchal society.
