Gisèle Pelicot takes the stand at mass rape trial in South of France • FRANCE 24 English
She is now probably the most famous French woman in the world. Gisèle Pelicot, the 72-year-old grandmother who was drugged unconscious so her husband and scores of other men could rape her, once again gives evidence at her rape trial. Also why ageism is never in style; Annette Young meets Jacynth Bassett, the woman behind the consultancy who is challenging outdated stereotypes. Plus with more women in work than ever before in Ivory Coast, the need for childcare has become paramount but the cost of privately-run crèches is way beyond the reach of most families.

Giselle is a pillar of strength! ❤❤❤ She is all women. 😘
50 known men who participated in this crime and not one called the authorities. Totally disgusting.
Many Alcoholics can't recognize to themselves that they are actually Alcoholics
In this case, many of the Abusers can not recognize to themselves that they are Abusers…
Rape is a crime now
This is gender based stereotyping. People love their 15 minutes. I'm a single father that has experienced sexism and ageism. Where's my voice?
Obscene
Speaking of ageism, can you (media) stop referring to Gisele Pelicot as a 'grandmother'? She is a grandmother but she is not just a grandmother. She worked in logistics, for example. She is the brave woman who has decided to go public with this horrific case and catalysed a movement to change the law around assault. Her ex-husband is not described as a 'grandfather'.
there's no soul searching let be real, men will never change. never. only the law can be changed, not men themselves.
How long is this trial? how hard it is to convict a rapist in France?
Gang rape perverts and enablers : internet profiteers trafficing victimization and porn crime profit are enablers and participating for $.
Some sickest animals are from human species.
To begin with: STOP addressing older women as a grandmother or granny! It's completely irrelevant and only fueling ageism and categorizing women into stereotypes!
It is terrible that the French are this way to women. We must cancel them from Tik Tok at once!
Do you think she can become the first Woman President of France?
I am so sad for her, and so proud of her, too.
These men are so pathetic that they have nothing better to do than commit crimes
What is not clear? As people age, multiple chronic health issues develop. Obviously, a 60-year-old will not be able to perform as well as a 30-year-old. It's not ageism. It's visually observable physical things. I think it's not only that but also how laws protect the interests of both employees and employers? Maybe elderly employees are not preferable due to regulations.
I think in many countries retirement level is raised. Why not lower the retirement age? Let ppl after 60 retire and young ppl to work!!!
Marital rape is more common that the public realise.
There is no vetting you cannot vet. You cannot choose better. Either you take the risk and deal with them or you don't. That's all there is.
Thank You wonderful Woman!
The audacity of the husband to have a woman as his lawyer, and what possessed her to take his case?!
