Thousands in France march in support of Gisèle Pelicot and protest against rape culture

Gisèle Pélicot, a 72-year-old woman, is at the center of a highly publicized trial in France. Her husband, Dominique, 71, and 50 other men are also accused of raping her, with the trial expected to run until December. Feminist groups have organized over 30 protests in cities across France, including Paris and Marseille, to show solidarity with Pélicot and to raise awareness about sexual violence. The protests have been met with banners and signs calling for the perpetrators to be ashamed and for victims to be believed.
