“Come on Rape is common guyswomen are at risk primarily at home, with their partner. “No one opposed Mr. Pelicot’s actions, despite the rejection of his offer by some men,” Marie, a member of the #NousToutes feminist collective, explained to this newspaper. “It’s time for society to act Estimating the amount of sexual and patriarchal violence in Franceit is time for men to take responsibility and condemn the actions of their peers.”
“It is time for us to consider the value of sexual violence and patriarchy in France, for men to take responsibility and condemn the actions of their colleagues.”
There is a collection of men who answered the call of a man who put his wife on the Internet so that other strangers could forcefully have sex with her under specific instructions not to steal her. A disease, women activists protest, of how organized rape culture exists in France: Out of all the 10 proposals that Dominique made in the conference, only three were rejected. No one reported. “These men made me dirty, they took advantage of me and none of them wondered if there was something strange,” said Gisèle during the macro-trial held in Avignon.
This macabre case has caused a debate on consent in France, especially after the latest statement by one of the defense lawyers: “There is coercion and coercion and, without the intention to do so, it is not coercion”. Later, the lawyer completed his speech and further angered those in room A of the Avignon Court: “Since, in fact, there is intent, since we can prove show that the person who did the things is. knowing that having committed acts of coercion, there is coercion. Otherwise, there is no crime.”

And the judicial system is only a reflection of French society,” criticized Marie.
Permission and security
In it French lawfor the crime of rape to be committed there must really be an intention to do it. Therefore, many of those who accused him accused them that they believe that they are fulfilling the concept of sexual intercourse of a free couple, from article 121-123 of the law. The French Penal Code states, “there is no crime or wrong without intent to commit it.”
“Questioning the intentions of the abuser when the victim has no idea is completely rape culture,” they said from the group ‘#NousToutes’.
According to feminist activists of #NousTouts, “the truth of Intentional questioning when the victim is unaware is completely coercive behavior“. Pelicot’s case is not only historical for its greatness, but also for showing the the main definition of rapeand the need for change the law to to need clearly those permissionwhich also includes chemical submission. “For years, we’ve been told that putting it into law will lead to people signing contracts to have sex, and other such nonsense. This case shows that the inclusion of the order will provide greater protection for the victims,” explained Marie.
As in Spain, France has had a deep debate about consent in recent years, but for the spokesperson of the National Collective for Women’s Rights, Suzy Rojtman, the defender of the accused who was investigated by Pelicot, within the #MeToo era , is “impossible.”
Shame change sides

There is no one way to survive sexual violence: some victims prefer to remain anonymous, others to come forward.
Gisèle wanted the trial to take place in public, without posting any video or pictures. For him, the pain has already been done, but he wants everyone to see the faces of his rapes and for his case to create an initiative for all victims of chemical submission.
Mazan’s case is filled with evidence of sexual abuse, and shows that there is no way to survive sexual violence. Some victims want to remain anonymous, others come forward: they are them who decides how and when to report, and above all, how to heal.
According to a new Ipsos survey conducted for the Discovery à l’inceste Group in November 2020, one in ten French people said they were victims of family. That is, around 6.7 million people.
