In an emotional decision that captured the nation's sentiment, the French public named 72-year-old Giselle Pélicot as their Person of the Year. Pélicot, a survivor of a prolonged mass rape orchestrated by her husband, has become a symbol of dignity and resilience in the face of unimaginable suffering.
The recognition stems from a survey conducted by the Odoxa-Mascaret Institute of Public Opinion.
According to the Institute, "The personality of this woman, her dignity, as well as the horror of what she had to go through, moved the French." Pélicot received 38% of the votes, surpassing notable figures such as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. French President Emmanuel Macron garnered just 14% of the vote.
Pélicot’s acknowledgment underscores the impact of her story, resonating deeply with the public and highlighting a broader conversation about justice, resilience, and the strength of survivors.
