I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.
It is one of the most heinous sexual abuse stories in history.
Giselle Pelicot was drugged and raped repeatedly by the person she trusted most in the world,
her husband Dominique Pelicot,
who invited dozens of men into their bedroom to also rape her while she was heavily sedated.
Giselle discovered what had happened to her in 2020,
after Dominique Pelico was caught filming up women's skirts at a local supermarket.
After police arrested him,
they found thousands of videos and images of his wife being violently assaulted by at least 70 men.
Many were stored in a digital folder titled abuse.
Four years later, France's largest ever mass rape trial began.
Even then, we might have never known Giselle Pelico's name.
But in a decision that shocked the world,
she waived her right to anonymity and the trial became public.
That made her a global icon and inspired a movement of women who marched in demonstrations all over France to demand change to the country's consent laws.
Still, despite her fame, Giselle remained in many ways an enigma.
Outside of the trial, she'd never sat down to tell her story until now.
She's written a new memoir called A Hymn to Life.
Shame has to change sides.
