Content Warning: Sexual Assault and Rape.
Today’s post is an update to the story I shared for Sexual Violence Prevention Month (May). Click here to read that post:
UPDATE
In June 2025, France changed their rape and sexual assault laws to better conform to similar laws in Europe and North America. The French Senate passed a bill that includes lack of consent in their definition of rape. This change was directly influenced by Gisele Pellicot’s case, thanks to the light it shone on drug-facilitated rape.
Also since my first post, Gisele Pellicot has been named a Knight of France’s Legion of Honour for her act of bravery in waving her right to anonymity.
I know many of you will agree that she deserves every honour. Her courage has changed lives, and will continue to change them in the future.
