Gisèle Pelicot (1952 - )
By waiving her right to anonymity under French law,
having her husband's and mass rapists' trial open to the public,
insisting that all blame and shame be placed on those rapists,
she has become a feminist icon raising awareness and
promoting the dignity of all women against whom
sexual violence is perpetrated.
✊️ Women who have not yet fully researched this story must do so!! It is important for knowing how much more we have to teach our girls and how much more we have to demand from men as they teach boys!! Ms. Pelicot is courageous! Young women must be raised to listen to their own bodies...if you wake up with gaps in memory and severe genital pain, trust yourself! Do not listen to anyone telling you you are crazy or have dementia...the story Ms. Pelicot's demonic husband gaslit her with!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a courageous woman. My heart breaks for her but I so admire her strength.
