STORYLINE:
Gisele Pelicot, a rape survivor turned feminist icon of resistance, marched with thousands of others in Paris to mark International Women's Day on Sunday.

Pelicot became an international heroine after waiving her anonymity and declaring that shame belonged with her abusers, not with her.

Her recently published book, "A Hymn to Life" is a best-selling memoir.

Her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, was jailed for 20 years for drugging and raping her and allowing other men to rape her while she was unconscious for nearly a decade.

Fifty men were found guilty of rape or sexual offenses after a trial in Avignon that ended in December 2024.

Women mobilized not only in the capital but in major cities across France to defend their rights.
