Demonstrators gathered across France on Saturday to show their support for mass rape victim Gisèle Pelicot whose ongoing trial saw her ex-husband as well as some 50 defendants – aged from 26 to 74 – take the stand. The 72-year-old has been widely praised for her bravery in facing her alleged rapists and for making the hearings public to highlight the persistent scourge of violence against women in France.
