Las esperadas memorias de un icono del feminismo actual, la hero?na que ha abanderado el combate p?blico para que la verg?enza frente a la violencia sexual cambie de bando La persona m?s destacada del a?o en 2024 en Francia, una de las 100 personas m?s influyentes del 2025 seg?n Time y la mujer m?s importante del a?o seg?n The Independent

El 2 de noviembre de 2024, la vida de una mujer com?n cambi? para siempre y lo que ella hizo a continuaci?n cambi? el mundo. Gis?le Pelicot conmocion? a millones de personas con su valent?a y dignidad al renunciar a su derecho al anonimato en el juicio contra su marido y los cincuenta hombres acusados de agredirla sexualmente. Su proclama, que la verg?enza cambie de bando, ha visibilizado lo arraigada que sigue estando la violencia sexual en nuestras sociedades, as? como el pacto de silencio que protege a sus perpetradores, y ha forjado un nuevo debate sobre el consentimiento en una de sus derivaciones m?s complejas, la sumisi?n qu?mica. Hoy, esta mujer de la que tanto se ha hablado, retoma el poder sobre su vida: «Quiero contar mi historia con mis propias palabras. Espero transmitir un mensaje de fortaleza y valent?a a todos aquellos que se ven sometidos a terribles adversidades. Que nunca sientan verg?enza y que, con el tiempo, vuelvan a aprender a disfrutar de la vida y encuentren paz . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Hymn to Life will tell Gis?le Pelicot's story in her words, offer solace and hope, and make a positive contribution to changing the conversation around shame and to changing the world

In 2024, Gis?le Pelicot inspired millions of people with her astonishing courage and dignity as she chose to waive her right to anonymity in her legal fight against her husband and the fifty men accused of her sexual assault. By the time Dominique Pelicot and the dozens of men accused were found guilty, Gis?le had become a global icon in the campaign against sexual violence, galvanizing a movement that triggered protests and demonstrations around the world in her support. "I hear lots of women, and men, who say you're very brave," she addressed the courtroom. "I say it's not bravery, it's will and determination to change society." Gis?le Pelicot's call for shame to change sides in cases of sexual abuse, and the solidarity she has shown survivors, have generated an extraordinary public response and moved both women and men all over the world. On December 19, 2024, when Pelicot walked down the steps of the Avignon courthouse at the culmination of the biggest rape trial in French history, she spoke to a cheering crowd of hundreds of people: "When I opened the doors to this trial on 2 September, I wanted society to be able to take part in this debate. I have never regretted that decision," she continued. "I have confidence in our ability to collectively grasp a future in which everyone, women and men alike, can live in harmony, with mutual respect and understanding."
