2. Gisele Pelicot explains why she wanted her husband's mass rape trial in France held in full public view

Gisele Pelicot, the woman at the center of the mass-rape trial that's shocked her own country of France and the world, told her husband in court on Wednesday that she still "did not understand why" he had drugged and raped her for nearly a decade, along with dozens of other men he invited into their home.

"My life has crumbled to nothing," she told the court in Avignon as her husband Dominique hung his head. "I always tried to lift you up. You reached the lowest depths of the human soul — but unfortunately, it was you who made that choice."

…

She said in court Wednesday, according to French newspaper Le Monde, that she wanted the proceedings to be public in the hope that "all women who are victims of rape can say to themselves: 'Madame Pelicot did it, so we can do it."'

"I don't want them to feel ashamed anymore. It's not for us to feel shame — it's for them [sexual attackers]," she said. "Above all, I'm expressing my will and determination to change this society."
