Today, we discuss Gis猫le Pelicot, whose ex-husband has been jailed for 20 years after drugging and raping her, and inviting dozens of strangers to also abuse her over nearly a decade.

Dominique Pelicot, 72, was found guilty of all charges.

He was on trial with 50 other men, all of whom were found guilty of at least one charge, although their jail terms were less than what prosecutors had demanded. Outside the courtroom, Gis猫le gave her "profound gratitude" to supporters and said she believes in a "better future" for women.

Adam is joined by Newsnight鈥檚 Victoria Derbyshire, 大象传媒 Paris correspondent Andrew Harding, and 大象传媒 online journalist Laura Gozzi to discuss today鈥檚 convictions and the impact of the trial for women鈥檚 movements across the world.
