Will Gisèle Pelicot’s trial change how we talk about sexual abuse?


Warning: this video contains discussions of sexual abuse and rape Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn “It’s time that the macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape changes”. This is what Gisèle Pelicot, whose ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, has admitted drugging her and inviting men to rape her for more than a decade, said in her final statement to the criminal court in Avignon, where he and 51 other men have been standing trial. The trial, which has been considered one of the most horrific France has ever seen, comes to a close this week, with French prosecutors demanding that Dominique Pelicot be jailed for 20 years, the maximum available sentence, “I think that this case should help us understand how common rape is and how deep-rooted [rape] culture is,” says Guardian columnist Rokhaya Diallo – who says that Gisèle’s brave choice to waive her anonymity to force a debate on rape culture, according to her lawyers, has helped her be “the voice of the victims who do not have such an opportunity to have global attention to them”. Gisèle Pelicot, 72, has become a feminist hero after insisting that the rape trial of her ex-husband and the other men be held in public. “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she said to the court during the trial. The case has caused outrage in France, where activists have called for changes to the country’s rape law to explicitly include consent for the first time. But, says Rokhaya Diallo, while this case is exceptional in its scale, the issues it draws attention to are bigger than just one country. “Male violence is endemic, it’s systemic,” says Diallo.

How women in Iran are fighting harsh new morality laws #iran #moralitypolice


Parastoo Ahmadi, an Iranian singer who was arrested alongside her two band members at the weekend for performing live on YouTube without wearing a hijab, is one example of the growing resistance of women in Iran against a series of new and oppressive laws. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn “I’m Parastoo, a girl who wants to sing for the people I love. This is a right I could not ignore,” she wrote in the caption. Two years after protests erupted following the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who had been arrested for not wearing a hijab, new laws promoting the “culture of chastity and hijab” have been passed by the Iranian authorities and come with severe penalties. They include the death penalty for women who protest against the mandatory hijab under charges of “corruption on earth”, as well as encouraging citizens to spy on each other. While President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration has requested a delay in enforcement and may draft an amendment bill (which could take up to six months), women in Iran continue to be punished. “We are being harassed, detained, fined and our cars are being confiscated already,” said one 23-year-old woman who took part in the Woman, Life, Freedom protests in September 2022, speaking anonymously to the Guardian. “I have received several SMS [text messages] with fines over driving without a hijab. They’ve already killed Mahsa anyway and, by now making it into law, they’re simply legalising the killing.” The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.

Inside a Syrian Captagon factory #syria #captagon #assad


The Guardian's William Christou goes inside one of Syria's largest Captagon factories. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn The dramatic collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has thrown light on the country's industrial-scale export of the banned amphetamine-type stimulant. Victorious Islamist-led fighters have seized military bases and distribution hubs for the drug, which has flooded the hidden market across the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia one of the top importers of the substance.

'The Syrian regime hit us with chemical weapons: only now can we speak out'


Syrian airforce helicopters dropped two cylinders of chlorine gas onto the town of Douma on 7 April 2018. At least 43 people choked to death. For six years, afraid of reprisals, the town has grieved in silence for loved ones lost to chemical attacks and countless others killed by conventional weapons. But after an astonishing and rapid offensive by rebel forces led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), more than 50 years of Assad family rule collapsed last week, and the residents of Douma are finally free to tell their stories.

The 'war' on disabled people and my fight for an independent life


Disability services in the UK have been consistently cut after 14 years of Tory rule and austerity, but with the promise of change from a new Labour government, musician and activist John Kelly is concerned that politicians are still not listening to disabled voices and what they want.
