//Gisèle Pelicot, the French woman whose former husband is on trial for drugging and raping her when they were married, and inviting dozens of other men to rape her, took the stand in court on Wednesday.
She told the court in Avignon she wants women who have been raped to know that "it's not for us to have shame - it's for them".
"I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer," she said, referring to her request for an open trial and for the videos of the alleged rapes to be shown.//

Men have been raping women since the dawn of time.
Few women, however, had had the strength of character to undergo such a public and high-profile trial and to make sure that the shame lies squarely on the side of the rapist, instead of the victim - something Madame Pelicot has loudly proclaimed.
He admitted to drugging his daughter but when she demanded to know if he had raped her too he looked disgusted and said he would never do something like that.
His daughter has written a book but it is currently only available in French, unfortunately my French is not that good.
Madame is a very brave woman.
