FEATURES • In honour of International Women’s Day, we’ve curated stories that celebrate the female thought-leaders, advocates and creatives leading the charge.

SHAME MUST CHANGE SIDES • This International Women’s Day, marie claire pays tribute to Gisèle Pelicot, the unlikely face of a global sexual-violence reckoning. As the wife and victim of the worst sexual predator in recent history, the 72-year-old shone a light on how heinous, and yet how mundane, violence against women really is; on how victims are treated by the legal system, and by society. Steadfast through her worst nightmare, she showed that not all rapists are “monsters waiting in a dark carpark”; they are everyday men, with partners and children and jobs. They believe a woman’s body is something to abuse before going home for dinner. Now Gisèle’s motto, that shame should change sides, has shifted the onus to men. The impact of her case is still being felt as our stories reveal

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US • After months of watching Gisèle Pelicot go through a torturous mass-rape trial against her ex-husband and 50 other men, British journalist Anna Wharton wondered, what would a woman do to an unconscious man if she thought no-one would find out?

‘I’LL NEVER CALL HIM DAD AGAIN’ • Gisèle and Dominique Pelicot’s daughter, Caroline Darian, on the moment she found out her father was preying on her, too

CLOSE TO HOME • Gisèle Pelicot’s husband of 50 years drugged her and invited strangers to rape her. Experts say the pairing of drugs and abuse is not uncommon – even in Australia

SO, WHAT NOW? • The onus should never be on a victim to stop the abuse. Gisèle Pelicot showed the world that while shame must change sides, so too should efforts to stop the crime: male-perpetrated violence against women is not a women’s issue. White Ribbon’s new CEO, Merinda March, talks about hope in a post-Pelicot world
