Gisèle Pelicot: A Journey from Trauma to Resilience

French rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot has made headlines with her powerful story of survival and resilience. In her first televised interview following a mass rape trial, Pelicot recounts the harrowing experiences involving her ex-husband, who exploited her and led to the assault by numerous men over nearly a decade. She expresses her desire for answers from him, planning a visit to his prison for closure. Recently, Pelicot has published a memoir detailing her journey and the health issues stemming from her trauma. Overwhelmed by a supportive letter from Queen Camilla, she emphasizes the importance of shedding shame associated with being a victim. Pelicot has also found new love, signifying a hopeful chapter in her life as she continues to advocate for other survivors and inspire them to reclaim their voices.
