Gisèle Pelicot, the French woman whose now ex-husband is on trial for drugging and raping her, and inviting dozens of other men to rape her, has taken the stand in court for the first time.

Gisèle told the court in Avignon she wants women who have been raped to know that "it's not for us to have shame - it's for them".
