Gisèle Pelicot: The Newsnight Interview

Gisèle Pelicot was the woman at the centre of the biggest rape trial in French history. For a decade her husband drugged and raped her, and brought at least 70 men into their home in order to rape her too.

She made the remarkable decision to let the world know who she was - waiving her legal right to anonymity, before the trial of her rapists began. Her powerful plea - that shame must change sides - resonated around the world. Ahead of the publication of her memoir, A Hymn To Life, she talks for the first time about what happened to her and shares a powerful message of hope.
