“It is time for the sexist and patriarchal society that trivializes rape to change,” declares Gisèle Pélicot

Mazan rape trial is the one “cowardice”accused Gisèle Pelicot, the main victim of this extraordinary case, on Tuesday, November 19, believing that it was time for society “change your perspective” about rape.

“For me, this trial will be the trial of cowardice. It is time for the sexist and patriarchal society, which trivializes rape, to change. “It’s time we change the way we view rape.”insisted the septuagenarian, a victim of repeated rapes for a decade, by her husband, who drugged her, and by dozens of strangers she recruited on the Internet.

Following the hearing of Pelicot’s three children and the questioning of the last two of the 51 defendants on Monday, Gisèle Pelicot returned to the stand on Tuesday to once again answer questions from defense lawyers. Her ex-husband will be given the floor for the last time, before the start of the arguments, probably on Wednesday.
