The trial of Gisèle Pelicot, where 51 individuals are accused of raping her while she was drugged by her husband, is drawing significant public attention. Activists have rallied in Avignon, advocating for justice and highlighting the pervasive issue of sexual violence. Pelicot's testimony transforms her into a symbol for victims and reflects the broader societal challenges related to consent and empathy in cases of sexual abuse. The case also poses questions about toxic masculinity and systemic failures of law enforcement and justice systems when addressing sexual violence. A verdict is expected by December 20.
