Published: 2024-09-06

Gisèle Pelicot, a victim of a harrowing series of assaults orchestrated by her husband, has become a symbol of resilience and courage.

Her case, involving 51 accused individuals, has captured international attention.

Despite the trauma, Gisèle has chosen to keep the trial public, aiming to shed light on the issue of chemical submission and shift the shame onto the perpetrators.

In response to her request, Nabilla Benattia, a former reality TV star, closed a fundraising campaign meant to support Gisèle, respecting her wish to maintain the dignity of the ongoing trial.
