At least 10,000 people demonstrated yesterday in several cities in France in support of Giséle Pelicot, victim of her husband – who induced her into chemical submission for a decade so that dozens of men could rape her – demanding that Shame changes sidesMore than 3,500 demonstrators, men and women, gathered at the Place de la République in Paris (pictured) chanting slogans of solidarity with the woman who agreed to have the trial on the sexual horrors made public so that the State and the families could avoid a repetition of their story. The trial against Dominique Pelicot, now ex-husband, and the 50 co-defendants began on the 2nd of this month.
