makes me sick to turn on the tv and watch trump sign executive orders to reverse any and all progress made relating to inclusion, climate change, lgbtq+ rights, etc. while everyone there cheers
This year has, once again, been an absolute shit show for women across the world, but can we all agree that Gisèle Pelicot is the bravest, most dignified of survivors and an absolute fucking hero?
Gisele Pelicot will forever be the face of dignity and resilience.
Her bravery is truly remarkable — and she has empowered millions of women around the world.
Today, we stand with all survivors of sexual violence and against the systems that intimidate them into silence.
Today, she did it.
Despite the burden of global infamy, she did it.
Despite the insulting sentences meted out to the 51 rapists today, she did it.
She exposed the "normal", "family man" facades and the ridiculous lies too many rapists hide behind.
She won.
#MerciGisèle
