    Gisèle Pélicot
    1. I want to say to him: I've always tried to lift you higher, towards the light. You chose the darkest depths of human nature. You're the one who made this choice.
    2. They (rapists) are the ones who must be ashamed.
    3. Of course today I feel responsible for nothing. Today, above all, I'm a victim.
    4. I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer.
    5. We have to progress on rape culture in society.
    6. I had gynaecological issues, and some mornings I woke up with the same feeling as if my waters had broken. The signs were there, but I never knew how to decode them.
    7. These men came to rape me. What I am hearing in this courtroom is so degrading, so humiliating.
