'Gisèle Pelicot a symbol for the world in shifting shame onto perpetrators', expert says

"I am a rapist," said a Frenchman accused of drugging his wife so that he and dozens of strangers could sexually assault her, his first testimony in a trial that has horrified France. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on gender violence and sexual assault, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Dr Ummni Khan, Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University. Dr. Khan researches the socio-legal construction of deviant sexuality and addresses the self-serving myths that perpetrators use to justify their actions. She says that Gisele Pelicot has become a symbol for the world in shifting shame onto the perpetrators.
