Gisèle Pelicot's strength and determination to symbolize dignity for survivors of sexual assault amid her trial will never fail to astound me. After her ex-husband and 50 other men were found guilty of assaulting her over the course of years, she gave a moving speech today citing her grandchildren and future generations. “It’s also for them that I led this fight,” she said. “I wanted all of society to be a witness to the debates that took place here. I never regretted making this decision." (photo by Julien Goldstein/Getty Images)
