Pelicot’s former husband, Dominique Pelicot, crushed sleeping tablets and anti-anxiety medication into her food and drink and invited men to rape her over a nine-year period from 2011-20 in the village of Mazan, in Provence. Gisèle Pelicot told the court in Avignon: ‘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’

  1. Did she know that man? Anyone know what they were saying ? I suddenly felt very protective over her. Surely she shouldn’t have people coming up to her. Maybe she doesn’t mind, but I noticed her hand go up at first that looked like a bit of protection * update . I just saw a news article that says it was a former teacher of hers

  2. this has to be the shittiest thing ever to have happened to a ''wife'' of western society in recent times .
    May she live the the rest of her life with no needs and total peace with the keys to the world to do as she wishes.

  3. Huge admiration for a woman seeking to expose the darkness of human affairs….we the cowards who look the other way and deny and self delude and gas light and suppress….for it is we, for to truly be a rational species, we must take ownership of our evil….🤔
