Gisèle Pelicot, a 71-year-old woman, has become a symbol of courage and resilience after refusing a closed trial for her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, and 50 other men accused of drugging and raping her over a decade.

The trial, held in the Vaucluse criminal court, has drawn international attention, highlighting the pervasive issue of sexual violence.

Gisèle's decision to make the trial public has inspired many, turning her from a victim into a heroine for millions of women worldwide.

Her story has not only exposed the horrific acts committed by seemingly ordinary men but also sparked a broader conversation about masculinity and systemic violence.

As the trial progresses, Gisèle continues to advocate for change, hoping her ordeal will empower other victims to speak out.
