Shame Has to Change Sides: A Parliamentary Reception for Gis\u00e8le Pelicot<\/h1>\n

Gis\u00e8le\u00a0Pelicot\u00a0inspired and moved millions of people when she chose to waive\u00a0her right to\u00a0anonymity in\u00a0the trial of her ex-husband and the fifty other men eventually convicted of her sexual assault.\u00a0Her call for shame to change sides in cases of violence against women has raised awareness of the devastating impact of these\u00a0crimes, and\u00a0invigorated the global\u00a0movement\u00a0for change.<\/span><\/p>\n

In celebration of the global publication of\u00a0Gis\u00e8le\u00a0Pelicot’s\u00a0memoir,<\/span>\u00a0A Hymn to Life,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0during her visit to the UK,\u00a0Women\u2019s Aid and\u00a0her\u00a0publisher, Vintage,\u00a0<\/span>part of Penguin Random House UK,\u00a0<\/span>proudly co-hosted an event in the Houses of Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gis\u00e8le Pelicot\u2019s book is a powerful and searing reminder that domestic abuse and sexual assault can happen to anyone. Data shows that nearly a third of women experience domestic abuse, with 1 in 4 also experiencing sexual assault. For many women sexual assault is part of the abuse they experience at the hands of their husband or partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gis\u00e8le Pelicot\u2018s message is one of defiance and renewal \u2013 that victims have no reason to feel ashamed; that even after unimaginable betrayal we can go on; that the colour can come back to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gis\u00e8le Pelicot addressed a captivated room, including government ministers and Members of Parliament, survivors, and advocates to end violence against women and children. Some of those in attendance included Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Jess Phillips, Minister for Victims and Tackling VAWG Alex Davies-Jones, broadcaster Victoria Derbyshire, Women\u2019s Aid ambassadors Michelle Griffith-Robinson, Ashley James, Katie Piper and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gis\u00e8le Pelicot said:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018It is an honour to speak\u00a0in\u00a0the Houses of Parliament today, a building where many laws are made. \u00a0Changing legislation is far easier than changing attitudes.\u00a0For victims to speak out, society also\u00a0has to\u00a0be ready to listen\u00a0and to hold their hand. \u00a0Shame must change sides.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking\u00a0alongside Gis\u00e8le\u00a0Pelicot, Farah Nazeer,\u00a0CEO at Women\u2019s Aid\u00a0said:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018I would like to express my personal thanks to\u00a0Gis\u00e8le for her outstanding bravery, unflinching\u00a0honesty\u00a0and pursuit of justice. By holding the men who committed these crimes against her\u00a0to account,\u00a0she has given countless women a voice, making them feel seen, heard and no longer alone. We know from our work with survivors just how isolating and insidious violence against women and\u00a0girls\u00a0is,\u00a0as well as how deeply rooted it is in misogyny. By standing tall and calling for shame to change sides, Gis\u00e8le has changed the lives of women, everywhere.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah\u00a0Telfer, Managing Director\u00a0at Vintage said:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The collective force of Gis\u00e8le\u00a0Pelicot\u2019s\u00a0strength, hope,\u00a0honesty\u00a0and resilience is on every page of\u00a0<\/span>A Hymn to Life\u00a0<\/span><\/i>and has generated an extraordinary response around the world. Gis\u00e8le has harnessed the unrivalled power of a book to offer understanding, solidarity an empathy, giving all of us renewed determination to ensure change happens.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, Jess Phillips, said:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018Gis\u00e8le\u00a0Pelicot\u00a0has shown extraordinary courage and dignity by telling her story. We must honour that by treating violence against women and girls as the emergency that it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade cannot wait. This case should mark a pivotal moment in our fight to ensure women and girls can live their lives free from violence and fear.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister for\u00a0Victims and Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls, Alex Davies-Jones, said:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018What happened to Gis\u00e8le horrified people in France and across the world. I want to pay tribute to her courage in speaking out, and to every survivor who does the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is showing that shame should belong to those who abuse, not the victims. We must keep working to end violence against women and girls.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
