Summary
Warning: This story contains references to sexual assault and rape. <br /><br />A woman’s decision to waive her anonymity and have a public trial after her husband drugged her and invited dozens of men to rape her over a decade has reignited the MeToo movement in France. <br /> <br />Gisele Pelicot has become a feminist hero after insisting that the trial be held in public to raise awareness, saying: "It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them." <br /> <br />Niall is joined by our Europe correspondent Siobhan Robbins to explore how the 'trial of the century' has unfolded and speaks to writer and MeTooMedia ambassador Benedicte Martin about what it means for women in France. <br /><br />Producers: Soila Apparicio, Emma Rae Woodhouse <br />Editor: Philly Beaumont
