Today, we discuss Gisèle 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, Gisèle gave her "profound gratitude" to supporters and said she believes in a "better future" for women.
Adam is joined by Newsnight’s Victoria Derbyshire, BBC Paris correspondent Andrew Harding, and BBC online journalist Laura Gozzi to discuss today’s convictions and the impact of the trial for women’s movements across the world.
