Gisèle Pelicot

I haven't had the opportunity to go and see him and I hope to do so.

That's also part of my way of rebuilding myself.

So I think I need to go and see him to get answers.

There has been an outpouring of support for you from people around the world, particularly women, who began to wait for you each day at the court and formed a guard of honour as you walked into the building and then...

applauded you as you left the building.

You wrote that the crowd saved you.

Yes, you go through hell in a courtroom.

You're really humiliated.

Nothing has changed much, in fact.

Victims are still made to feel like the guilty party.

So, yes, when I came out, the applause gave me enormous strength.

And seeing my name plastered on the walls of Avignon, this name as a banner, my story as an example, it gave me a lot of strength.

Alone, it would have been very difficult, I think.

Madame Pellico, if I may, I feel like you are one of the strongest women I have ever met.

Where does that strength come from?

I think it's in my DNA.

I was born like this because I experienced tragedies very young, through my grandmother, through my mother, and I always saw these women smiling despite everything they'd gone through.

So I think it was passed on to me from a very young age, and I've built myself like that, always standing upright and dignified.

You say you have found love again.

Yes.
