FRANCE-CRIME-JUSTICE-WOMEN-DEMO

A placard which reads "Angry Women" is displayed as protesters take part in a demonstration in support of Gisele Pelicot in Paris on September 14, 2024. With her bobbed red hair and dark glasses, Gisele Pelicot has become the embodiment of victims of sexual violence, the figurehead of the fight against chemical submission since her determined and dignified appearances at the trial of the men accused of raping her. Drugged with anti-anxiety drugs by her husband, then raped in her sleep over a period of ten years by him and dozens of men invited by him, the septuagenarian is the main victim in an extraordinary trial that opened on September 2, 2024, before the Vaucluse criminal court in Avignon.
