Gisèle Pelicot is so strong. She wants the public to see the shameful behavior of these men for what it is. She's working to change the culture of her country. I wonder if anyone will recognize and turn in any of the men who couldn't be identified by the police.

I was horrified reading the headline, they probably should've added that this is something the victim wanted to do.

For context:

The judge last month banned the broadcasting of such footage to the public and press on the grounds that the images were "shocking and indecent". 

However, he decided to lift the restrictions following calls from Ms Pelicot's lawyers for the trial to be open to the public.

"If these same hearings, through their publicity, help prevent other women from having to go through this, then she will find meaning in her suffering," one of Ms Pelicot's lawyers, Stéphane Babonneau, said.

Yes, it's part of how she's turning from victim to survivor.

It’s crazy how someone could get to “strong” after being at “holy shit I’ve been secretly gang raped my entire life and the one person I trusted the most was organizing it all”
