Pélicot: Must change how we view rape

Gisèle Pélicot, 71, the woman at the center of a highly publicized French mass rape trial, demands that society starts seeing sexual violence differently.

It's time for the macho society, the patriarchal society, that trivializes rape to change, she says in court ahead of this week's final pleadings.

Her ex-husband Dominique Pélicot and dozens of other men are on trial, accused of raping her while she was drugged.

The trial concludes during the week and a verdict in the highly publicized case is expected next month.
