The Avignon trial against Gisèle Pelicot, a French woman who was drugged with sleeping pills by her husband for years and offered to at least 50 men for rape, goes down in the history of justice due to her determined appearance, in which she refuses to be a victim. At solidarity demonstrations in France, thousands call out: "We are all Gisèle!". Pelicot deserves the highest respect for her handling of the crime committed against her, as she becomes a role model and gives others hope.
