Gisèle Pelicot, a French woman who bravely testified against her ex-husband and 51 other men in a mass rape trial, discusses her experiences in her upcoming memoir, “A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides.” Pelicot waived her anonymity during the four-month trial, revealing how her husband drugged her and facilitated assaults over nearly a decade. All defendants were found guilty, with her ex-husband receiving a 20-year sentence. Pelicot aims to inspire others by sharing her story and emphasizing the importance of speaking out.
