What a truly incredible woman, and such a horrifying story.
When I first heard of Gisèle’s case, I honestly thought it was the plot of a messed up horror film. I’m in awe of her strength and bravery throughout all of this.
One of the strongest women alive.
She inspires me to not feel shame. My hero.
This cover is pure art.
This woman is a whole ass icon. And I mean that in the full, literal sense. She turned this into a teachable moment for every man who deserved it and just turned herself into this beacon of hope for women who can relate.
It’s hard to put into words how admirable her response to this has been. Not because surviving isn’t admirable on its own, but what she did took a whole other level of strength
I admire her bravery and determination to seek justice . She’s a trully an amazing woman
Today is the 29th anniversary of my own aunties murder.
Thank you to all these amazing and awesome people that share their stories and continue fighting for **ALL OF US**!
For those unfamiliar with the case “Prosecutors demand 20-year jail term for Dominique Pelicot | Gisèle Pelicot rape trial | The Guardian” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/25/prosecutors-demand-20-year-jail-term-for-dominique-pelicot
Massive trigger warning for rape and drugging
If there’s one thing about this it’s taking the shame away from other victims of sexual assault and rape. Too many of us have been there and and I see and believe everyone in this thread and elsewhere.
I cannot believe how her story is. I don’t think I would have a millionth of her strength.
There is a book or something similar to these events, right? I feel like I read it, and then heard a podcast about this case when I found out it was based on a true story. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? My memory is terrible.
Giving us all courage
Woo, I may have to get a copy. Unbelievably strong and resilient.
Hell yes! Courageous incredible woman!
What an incredibly strong woman who never should have had to be
Few stories really stay with me and consume me for weeks and months. What Mrs. Pelicot went through is one of the most haunting and horrific things I can ever imagine. She is so strong and resilient. My thoughts are always with her and her daughter.
Obligatory F$ck her husband and all those predators that violated. I hope this haunts them for the rest of their days really
Gisèle, on est avec toi. Que la honte change de camps.
I’m so immensely proud of her. I tear up everytime I think of Gisèle. If you’re in the right head space to do it, I strongly recommend following the case. Gisèle was raped by more than 80 men over the course of 10 years as she was drugged unconscious by her husband Dominique Pélicot. There are around 50 of them that were identified and are now standing trial along with Dominique. Gisèle insisted that this trial be public (not in the sense of an american trial livestreamed, but in the sense that random people and reporters are allowed inside the courtroom and everything can be reported on. Her reasoning was that she should not feel shame for being raped, *they* should feel shame for raping her. “Que la honte change de camps” means “shame needs to change sides”. This woman is a hero
As a French woman, I’m also proud of how we support her. [Seeing her being applauded everyday](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DQRudjvHLRn8&ved=2ahUKEwiPpfupyfmJAxWwK_sDHTpuD6EQtwJ6BAgQEAI&usg=AOvVaw1ibhCf1_gkizfMHWE74IZy) as she enters the courtroom, seeing women in the streets protesting for her and all the victims out there. We will never stop fighting
Absolute hero. She deserves every honor.
I remember listening to a podcast about this case and the details are so disgusting , I nearly couldn’t finish . As a wife, a mother , a daughter I have never felt so disgusted . She and her children especially her daughter are amazing , I hope they continue to flourish and every single man who participated in this gets named and shamed and burns in hell.
Brilliant and beautiful cover.
I am french and thats story destroyed me.
I am happy that it is getting international coverage.
Women, be careful
Where does she get her strength from? I am amazed by her ability to stand up and face the world after what she’s been through. I also wish we didn’t live in a world where women had to be strong after such things.
To all the men involved in this case, you are all sick monsters. Inhuman. Evil personified. Times like this I wish hell existed so you could burn in it for eternity.
She is formidable. May she live the rest of her days jn leace and joy.
Sa Majesté la Reine. We owe her so much.
Actual fucking hero.
even in my 50s im still being shocked by the routine reports of complete and monstrous depravity in this world.
Nous Sommes Gisèle!
What’s with Germany having the best magazine issues lately?
Amazing cover.
Ugh, yes. 🤍
I can’t even put into words how much I admire this woman, what she did for all of us, it’s something impossible to measure.
May her name and courage be remembered forever.
This woman is amazing. I can’t even begin to fathom what she went through.
Honestly one of the most resilient women in existence. All love and admiration to her!
I remember listening to her daughter telling the horrifying story of her mother on this French talk show. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! And now, months later, here we are discovering more and more atrocities during this trial. I still can’t believe the majority of the rapists involved in this case claim they are not guilty and that their wives are defending them, even after playing the disgusting videos Gisèle’s husband recorded!
Gisèle is such a strong woman! I really wish her a prompt recovery (even if it’s gonna take time) and the best!
France 20 years is not enough for this monstrous crime. Respect her bravery. Bury him beneath the prison.

She’s so strong
So proud of this amazing lady
Amazing woman
She’s beyond brave. Her children are also brave and I’m glad she has them supporting her. I can’t imagine what she’s going through and to selflessly make this as public as possible for the good of all women. She fought to have the videos shown in court. She has wanted everything to be public and she didn’t have to do that. Seriously, give this woman a Nobel Peace prize.
I know that this is a case that means a lot to female victims and feminists but one of the thing that I am very grateful for is that she declared at some point that she is doing that for all victims, women and men.
It makes me appreciate her even more. I have women who were victims of sexual violence in my family. We also had one male who passed and was never able to get justice.
Merci Gisèle Pélicot, vous êtes une grande.
