Gisèle Pelicot’s memoir launches in 22 languages, turning horror into hope for survivors
Gisèle Pelicot’s memoir details decades of abuse and supports survivors as France enacts a consent-based sexual assault law after her landmark 2024 trial.
- On Tuesday, Gisèle Pelicot released her memoir in 22 languages worldwide, with Paris reporting the book shares details of the horror she endured.
- The landmark trial found Dominique Pelicot, ex-husband, and about 50 other men guilty of sexually assaulting her between 2011 and 2020 while she was under chemical submission.
- Pelicot recounted her survival in the book and first interviews, saying on France 5 last week, `I wanted my story to help others,` ahead of her memoir release.
- The courts handed down sentences that included Dominique Pelicot receiving 20 years in prison and other convicted defendants sentenced from three to 15 years, while an appeals court later increased one sentence to 10 years.
- Beyond the courtroom, the case prompted France's lawmakers to pass an October law defining rape and sexual assault as non-consensual acts, joining similar laws in Germany, Belgium, and Spain.
