The sexual assault that stunned the world. A courageous woman's rallying call for shame to change sides. For the very first time, Gisele Pelicot tells her story.

In 2024, Gisle Pelicot inspired and moved millions of people with her astonishing courage and dignity as she chose to waive her right to anonymity in her legal fight against her husband and the 50 men accused of her sexual assault. Gisele Pelicot's call for shame to change sides in cases of sexual abuse, and the power of the messages she has sent out to the world, have generated an extraordinary public response and moved both women and men all over the world.
