How Gisèle Pelicot changed France forever | The Daily T Podcast

[@lizoconnor2752]

This is such a courageous woman! I wish her love and healing ❤

[@VanessaPapilio]

JUSTICE! Bravo Gisèle. Quelle courage!

[@mariaalencar4228]

She was raped for 10 years and he only got 20 years in prison? And the other only 3 years? Serious?

[@ruthgiles8926]

20 years is the maximum the court can impose for rape in France. It's part of the problem that this case has highlighted. The onus is always on the women to 'prove' that they didn't ask to be raped, to prove that they were raped, and to face being called a liar in court. Even in the highly unlikely event that they get as far as a conviction, the rapist gets a wrist slap. It's the same the world over. Gisèle hopes that this case will let the shame change sides.

[@orchid6789]

The sentences were far too lenient. Sickening.

[@spmoran4703]

Such a brave woman. My hero.

[@TonyGalla-kw4hw]

Giselle Pelicot is a hero. I hope she will be announced as The Person of The Year award on many news outlets, magazines, and newspapers. I hope she is considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. Hero.

[@ccharles848]

Yes!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@JohnAtkinson-v5z]

A great and courageous lady. Their male cowardice is repugnant.

[@robturvey9156]

This affects men too. Many of us have daughters.

[@noniesundstrom119]

Perpetrators like this prey on boys too

[@spmoran4703]

It's all got to stop for ALL the innocent and their families

[@sexyhomeowner9345]

Of course it affects men. Who's doing the raping?

[@ruthgiles8926]

It doesn't just affect men, it's men's problem. Women cannot fix this, it's not women who are raping women and turning a blind eye to rapists. Men have to fix each other. This guy knew he could get away with this - he went online advertising for rapists in the area, knowing no-one would stop him, report him, interfere in any way. He knew that he had a market for rapists and could get away with it by drugging her. He was right. For ten years. He was only discovered by accident when he was caught filming up women's skirts in the local supermarket and the police went through his phone.

[@agatahb]

well, how many of these rapists have daughters, I wonder.... and Dominique has most probably abused his own daughter..... Boys from the early age need to be educated, that's the future

[@REINVENTION_7]

Monumental case and her strength to use this to create change is remarkable! This really means so much for women.....in France and worldwide ❤❤❤

[@mariebrown5681]

❤ What a courageous, gutsy lady! I wish her healing and peace.

[@xxtt7113]

Merci Gisele.

[@Andy-z3l]

Doesn't France need a new leader right now???

[@ruthgiles8926]

Doesn't the whole world need new leaders!!!

[@judith3218]

Whether the brave and stalwart Gisèle Pelicot changed France remains to be seen, but she certainly exposed France. ❤🙏

[@aldastroud9671]

How many more like him/them 😢

[@nancymcleod4376]

Gisèle Pelicot should be named Person of the Year by Time and other national/international publications. She is setting a new course -- bringing attention to horrific behaviour and shortfalls in French legislation, and turning the shame back on the abusers by standing up for herself and all women who have been sexually assaulted.

[@emeralddreams8440]

How many Gisèles are there in the UK? Across the world? 😢

[@judith3218]

I am thinking the same. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@BernieRowlands-d4o]

How is the maximum sentence only 20 years! It's not only the UK that has pathetic sentencing. Every single one of them should have got the maximum sentence available irrespective of the gravity of the individual crime. To think that some of them can walk away without any more time to serve is shocking. What an incredibly brave woman.

[@denisesmall5643]

I bet he did cross the line with his daughter too. Seeing had a picture of her in underware, too. How very sad for her and her mother.

[@LolaEverywhere]

Gisèle Pelicot is my vote for international woman of the decade

[@msc1853]

What a woman 💪🙌. She's wayyy braver than i could be in that situation. Bless her heart. 😔. Hope she has a good future and finds happiness eternally. She deserves it. Wow. ❤❤

[@sussubadger]

Maybe send a female reporter to the trial instead...? Also, why separate "feminists" from people when reporting about the protesters, etc.? Let's call people people, to not minimize things. Everyone should be horrified by this and want harsher laws and sentences, no? What am I missing? Who is being "protected"?

[@agatahb]

maybe they wanted to show that men are too capable of empathy and being decent human beings....

[@brigittenevrela-vosteen8499]

Gisele...mutige...tolle..warmherzig Frau❤❤❤❤❤

[@alexandranoone3195]

It happened in scotland aswell ,can't prove it as no mobile phones then 🎉

[@ruthgiles8926]

It happens everywhere. Men protect each other everywhere, rape is impossible to prove everywhere, the culture enables misogyny everywhere.

[@RoseDutton-g9u]

Such a brave lady I wish all the very best for her and for her health and happiness brave lady

[@name-ce7sn]

They all thought they would get away with it. That's why it's so profound. The sentences were too light. ❤I hope Gisele can find some peace inside herself for healing.

[@guineapig0199]

I wonder how many Gisele Pelicots there are in the world who don't know they are victims and will probably never know. I wonder how many Dominic Pelicots there are living with impunity in their Jekyll and Hyde world.

[@IliaKemp]

Seriously what is wrong with these men? The idea that there were so many men who would do this is frightening. Madame Pelicot is a heroine for women's rights! 🇳🇱

[@kimberleabell-smith1974]

She’s not a “feminist icon”. She’s a a woman defending herself from a system that shames women when they’ve been assaulted. It has nothing whatsoever to do with “feminism”. I resent the implication.

[@thealignedalchemist]

agree. this dude is completely tone deaf

[@fionasoma]

Bravo 👏 👏👏👏

[@philiphuntley8277]

Good outcome.

[@Ilovemom6382]

Really 51 men and she was clueless??.. it just sounds so incredible I am finding it hard to believe. Plus with this me too movement there is an over zealousness to find men guilty.

[@janachamillova6557]

The trial found the ex-husband and 51 men guilty! There is so much video evidence.only what is hard believed is that her ex found 51 men on 60 km radius to rape her for 9 years and nobody contacted authorities. What a world we leave in..
