Last year, the world watched in horror as Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men were tried in a case involving the repeated sexual assault of his then-wife, Gisele Pelicot, over the span of a decade.
Will this horrific and historically important case change societal attitudes towards sexual violence and help “shame change sides?” Did media coverage of the trial perpetuate stereotypes such as the British newspaper headline describing Gisele Pelicot's decision to go public as "revenge?" And can media challenge and rewire deeply-held biases when it comes to sexual assault and, most importantly, the way we view survivors?
This panel of experts will examine these questions both in the context of the Pelicot trial and broader global issues of misogyny, sexual harassment, and violence to women. In a conversation curated by Annette Young, the host and creator of France 24’s The 51 Percent will be Sandrine Josso, a French MP and co-founder of 'Don't Put Me to Sleep,'; a French NGO campaigning for tougher laws on drug-facilitated sexual assault (she herself was a victim of such sexual assault); Virginie Herz, managing editor, France 24 reporters; and Francesca Donner, the founder and editor of The Persistent and former gender editor of the New York Times.
Moderated by Annette Young.
