    Victim. Survivor. Icon. Gisèle Pelicot heard it all. But in her words? ‘An optimist'

    This week marks two years since Gisèle Pelicot became known as the victim in one of the most notorious rape trials in France's history. Her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, was found guilty of drugging and raping his then-wife – and recruiting scores of men online to abuse her while she was unconscious, over the course of a decade. Fifty other men were also found guilty, most on rape charges. What made the trial all the more remarkable is that Gisèle Pelicot waived her right to anonymity, inviting the world into the courtroom. In a rare interview, she tells Piya about the shocking crimes, the ripple effects within her family, and how going public made her a feminist hero.
