France’s landmark mass rape trial is over. But the Pelicot case demonstrates that systemic violence against women runs deep

CNN  

CNN — It’s the landmark trial that has upended French society and prompted some deep soul searching about sexual violence and consent: the Pelicot mass rape case. It was that service, courage and defiance that transformed her into a feminist hero, one who is determined to make “shame change sides.” “Quite often internationally, France can have a sort of reputation of being really progressive when it comes to women’s rights,” McGrath said. However, when it comes to sexist and sexual violence, we really do lag behind our other European neighbors.” Data show that survivors of sexual violence don’t tend to come forward in France. As she left the courthouse on Thursday, she said that the trial showed to her that a “future where women and men can live in harmony and mutual respect” is in fact achievable.
