Gisele Pelicot, 72, opted to have this trial held in public to force a conversation about sexual violence and consent—using the worst experience of her life to help others.
The appalling Dominique Pelicot trial might bring about better education on sexual consent, generating discussions from local campaigns to potential legal reforms in France.
Calls are increasing for a 'yes means yes' clause to be included in France's rape laws, reflecting a broader societal push for explicit consent.
If French lawmakers can show courage like Gisele Pelicot, they could initiate a meaningful and enduring change in tackling sexual violence in society.
