Gisele Pelicot, whose husband drugged her and allowed different men to rape her over the course of 10 years, is holding a public trial and allowing her name to be published, even though she didn't have to.
Her husband wished for a private trial, which would have allowed their names to remain anonymous, but she wanted to shame the men who have raped her and hold them responsible publicly for what they've done.
She told the court that she hopes her testimony might help spare other women from similar ordeals. She said she pushed for the trial in open court in solidarity with other women who go unrecognized as victims of sexual crimes.
Her strength is so unbelievable.
We are really proud of our St George’s, University of London Occupational Therapy students & friends who recently joined in the celebrations at London Pride! Celebrating diversity & promoting allyship @LGBTQIAOTUK@theRCOT#OTpride
The silence from transphobes who scream at the top of their rotted little lungs that women are being made to feel unsafe because of trans women just trying to live their lives.
While real sexual predators and rapists go to the Olympics and it’s tumble weed.
Another day, another flight delay with zero explanation or announcements from @emirates just radio silence. I am never flying with you again and I’m sure many other people are thinking the same. Your handling of this entire situation has been abhorrent.
@emirates are making fake announcement after fake announcement NO flights are flying out of Dubai not even for people who are ‘in transit’, they’ve made a right shitshow out of this and keep digging the hole deeper
@emirates@EmiratesSupport
The state of current management of flights at Dubai airport is appaling. Being stranded at the airport for 8 hours and no communication at all regarding connecting flight. There is no staff to guide or answer questions. Never fly with Emirates.
@emirates@EmiratesSupport people who were waiting for connections were forced out of the connections area to hotels that had no rooms and now we are back at the airport they aren’t letting us back in
so many historical monuments and religious sites were destroyed….and they’re gone forever. Where is the outrage that y’all (world leaders and rich people) had for Notre Dame
