• Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the aggravated rape of his ex-wife Gisèle, with another 50 men also convicted for participating, at his invitation, in the rape of Gisèle.
• The case has caused a great deal of alarm in France and around the world, being regarded as the largest aggravated rape case in recent decades in France.
• The actions of Pelicot and the group of men underline an alarming lack of dignity and empathy in society, as they were willing to engage in these abhorrent practices.
• The courage of Gisèle in requesting a public trial and insisting on the publication of the recordings of the assaults has been highlighted.
• The case has raised awareness about the state of sexual assault and has propelled the feminist struggle for true equality.

Conclusion: Although the road to harmonious coexistence is long, this case has brought about new certainties that it is possible, according to Gisèle's words. Her courage serves as an inspiring example to work towards a better future.
