Gisele Pelicot exits the courtroom with her lawyer Stephane Babonneau in Avignon, on Oct. 23, 2024, for the trial of her former partner Dominique Pelicot accused of drugging her for nearly 10 years and inviting strangers to rape her at their home in Mazan, a small town in the south of France. Fifty other men, between 26 and 74, are also on trial for involvement, in a case that has horrified France.
In response to the claims that the men thought Gisèle Pelicot was drunk or just pretending to be unconscious, she, “When they see a woman sleeping on her bed, no one thought to ask themselves a question? Don’t they have brains?” "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"“I wanted all woman victims of rape—not just when they have been drugged, rape exists at all levels—I want those woman to say: Mrs. Pelicot did it, we can do it too.It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s will and determination to change society.”“For me they are rapists, they remain rapists.
