Gisèle Pelicot, a global advocate against sexual violence, was received by Queen Camilla at Clarence House in London. This meeting follows the late 2024 conviction of Pelicot's ex-husband and 51 other men for years of rape against her while she was sedated. Queen Camilla stated she was "shocked" by Pelicot's ordeal, despite having met many other survivors. Pelicot is currently in the UK promoting her memoir, "Et la joie de vivre," which details the 2024 Avignon trial. Her courageous decision to request a public hearing, rather than a closed-door one, and her dignity during the proceedings have established her as a prominent figure in the fight against violence against women. Pelicot, 72, was drugged and raped at her Mazan home by her husband and men recruited online. Her ex-husband received a 20-year prison sentence, and the other 50 defendants were also found guilty.
