Outrage at ordeal of woman raped after being drugged by husband leads to marches across the country

Hundreds of protesters gathered across France on Saturday in support of Gisèle Pelicot, the woman whose husband drugged her and invited more than 80 men to rape her at their home over the course of a decade.

Feminist groups organised about 30 protests in cities including Paris and Marseille. Demonstrators also gathered in Brussels. At Place de la République in Paris, protesters held placards with messages of support for victims of sexual violence. One read: “Gisèle for all. All for Gisèle.”
