Gisèle Pelicot, a 72-year-old woman from France, made headlines when she decided to waive her anonymity in a high-profile trial involving mass rape. Her courageous act was driven by a desire to help other women and bring about societal change.
During the trial in October, Pelicot expressed her intention to shed light on the prevalence of abuse by making her case public. By doing so, she hoped to become a voice for other victims of sexual violence.
