This International Women’s Day I’m saying Merci Gisele. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring rape & abuse victims know that the shame is NOT theirs has inspired countless women to come forward & share their own stories.
Abuse, neglect & medical misogyny are serious issues we must address #IWD2025

Pour Gisèle, et toutes les autres:
Guy from “not all men” brigade asks me how he can be a better ally.
Me: “If you see a woman being harmed - speak up. Stand up. Help her.”
Him: “No that might not end well for me.”
It NEVER ends well for us. We don’t get a “choice” to walk away.
If you’re going to CHOOSE silence in real life - if you’re turning away when you know someone is being hurt - the bare minimum you can do is not inject yourself into conversations to yell over us.
You want to be silent - be silent. And consider how you’re proving our point.

Nach Pelicot-Prozess: Ministerin Paus ruft Männer zum Handeln auf
Our 2024 Person of the Year #GisèlePelicot did the unthinkable. She changed the rules and reversed the language. She demanded that the court show the tapes to her rapists and journalists while she faced her attackers. She stared the rules in the face and challenged the decision and sat in the courtroom facing her rapists. And she has won. She changed the rules. She held her head high and gave us permission to reject shame…https://www.bespacific.com/gisele-pelicot-person-of-the-year-2024/
