The French Rape Trial: A Victim-Survivor's Story Of Which She Has No Memory

The Quicky

It's the case that has shocked France and led to protests outside of an Avignon court house.

For 50 years, Dominique and Gisèle Pélicot were married, but for a decade of their marriage, Gisèle was being raped without her knowledge — drugged and sexually assaulted by dozens and dozens of men.

If this case were to unfold in Australia, what kind of laws would there be to protect victim survivors from ever having to experience this again?

If you or someone you know needs to speak to someone help is listed below:
