For the 236th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Paris-based journalist Monique El-Faizy to unpack France's Gisèle Pelicot case.
This French legal battle, which culminated in a landmark verdict last December, exposed a horrifying conspiracy to rape involving dozens of men—led by Pelicot’s own husband.
To break it all down, I’m joined by Monique El-Faizy, who has been closely following the case and is writing a book about it. We discuss the disturbing details, Pelicot’s incredible bravery in waiving her anonymity and making the case public, and what this case reveals about the insidious nature of misogyny and the banality of sexual assault. 
We also talk about the parallels in Monique's previous book, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/85623/9780316492669">⁠All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator⁠</a>.
But don’t worry—we end on a lighter note, with Monique sharing her experiences with dating and non-monogamy in Paris in her 50s.
