GislandGisele Pelicot, “a totally destroyed woman” and acclaimed by those who attended the trial; 51 accused, in addition to her husband; a swarm of journalists following the hearings; debates in society; a global echo… Started on September 2 in Avignon before the Vaucluse criminal court, the Mazan rape trial is a shock.
Why such an echo? What does it tell us about the acceptance of rape in our society, and also about the lack of understanding we have of the definition of what rape is?
What does it reveal about the justice system? Will this trial be able to drive a wedge into the “rape culture” that continues to permeate society and the courtrooms?
How can we better judge cases of gender-based and sexual violence and better care for victims? Like the major rape trials that have marked history, will the Mazan trial, still ongoing, be an opportunity for legislative developments by including the notion of consent in the definition rape?
Tuesday, November 12 at 7 p.m. live, ten lawyers specializing in gender-based and sexual violence discuss and debate the lessons of this trial, but also the media and judicial treatment of the cases they pleaded before the courts.
A program prepared by Marine Turchi, Cécile Hautefeuille, Lénaïg Bredoux and Sophie Boutboul, and hosted by Mathieu Magnaudeix, Marine Turchi and Cécile Hautefeuille.
