Gisèle Pelicot is a fuckin hero

[marsvolta]

how many times does the female victim of such a horrendous sexual assault exit a court house from the front doors, undisguised, proud and unashamed to the cheers of throngs of fans and supporters?

her actions emphatically declare that sexual assault against women does not taint, soil or forever humiliate their character or bodies. she declared war on any societal shame and humiliation imposed on the victims of extreme sexual violence and she has been victorious.

i hope she gets a medal.

Gisèle Pelicot's ex-husband jailed for 20 years in mass rape trial

One hell of a woman ! She doesn't let the crimes done to her define her .

It must be hard for her to process at times . She has a force of character that is quite impressive.

She's ripping apart the code of silence so publicly that things will have to change...maybe not everywhere but it will in France ; consent is not really defined in the French legislation.

I had hoped the French government would have brought back the guillotine for the various rapists especially her husband (and the HIV one). Oh well, at least they got convicted. Same of their excuses are beyond idiotic too.
