From our hosts

by Michel Martin, Morning Version and Up First host

After I first heard the story about what occurred to Giséle Pelicot, I could not consider it. Or perhaps it is extra correct to say I did not wish to consider it — and it seems neither did she.

Her husband of almost half a century had been drugging and raping her whereas she was unconscious of their house in southeastern France. He had been doing it for nearly a decade — and never solely that, he had actively solicited different males to do the identical factor. He coached some 70 males to rape his personal spouse. And he filmed the entire thing. He is serving a most 20-year sentence for his crime. And all the males who could possibly be recognized — some 20 weren’t — had been additionally convicted.

After I spoke to Madame Pelicot for a narrative you may hear on Morning Version and The Sunday Story this week, tied to the discharge of her new e-book A Hymn to Life, one of many first issues she instructed me was that when she first noticed the tapes she did not acknowledge herself. Her mind couldn’t settle for that it was her.

It is some of the disturbing tales you’ve got ever heard about sexual assault —- and that’s saying one thing in a world through which we all know that girls, kids and sure, males, have been viciously abused in struggle time and peace time, right here wealthy and highly effective males have traded women between them for enjoyable and the place weak migrants search work and change into enslaved. It goes on and on.

It is arduous to grasp how people can do this to one another beneath any circumstance. However as an individual who has loved a protracted marriage myself, I couldn’t and can’t perceive how somebody might do this to somebody that he supposedly cherished, who birthed his kids, who rigorously ready his favourite meals and somebody who, on the day he was arrested for what he did to her, dropped off a bag of heat clothes and clear underwear to jail for him.

I nonetheless do not perceive. However what I carried away from my dialog with Pelicot was awe. She was calm, open and unafraid. She spoke of the toughest issues with such gentleness and kindness that I might solely marvel on the supply of it. She ended her e-book, and our dialog, by saying that she nonetheless believes in love. “To combat the vacancy,” she writes, “I would like to like.” What a message. What a problem. What a present.
