It's the case that has shocked France and led to protests outside of an Avignon court house.

For 50 years, Dominique and Gisèle Pélicot were married, but for a decade of their marriage, Gisèle was being raped without her knowledge — drugged and sexually assaulted by dozens and dozens of men. 

If this case were to unfold in Australia, what kind of laws would there be to protect victim survivors from ever having to experience this again?  

If you or someone you know needs to speak to someone help is listed below: 

Lifeline - 13 11 14

1800 RESPECT - 1800 737 732, The National Domestic Family And Sexual Violence Counselling Service
