Talks
Synopsis:
Join Gisèle Pelicot for the UK launch of her extraordinary memoir, A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides, as she tells her story for the very first time.
Gisèle Pelicot inspired and moved millions of people with her astonishing courage and dignity when she chose to waive her right to anonymity in her legal fight against her husband and the 50 men accused of her sexual assault.
Gisèle Pelicot’s call for shame to change sides in cases of sexual abuse, and the power of the messages she has sent out to the public, have generated an extraordinary response and moved both women and men all over the world.
This event is chaired by journalist, writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed, with readings from the book by Juliet Stevenson.
