Gisele Pelicot honors First Nations women by wearing symbolic scarf in Australia

Gisele Pelicot, involved in a high-profile rape trial, expressed her honor in wearing a scarf made by First Nations women in Australia. The scarf was sent by the Australian Older Women's Network, which raises awareness about violence against older women. Pelicot's case involves allegations against her ex-husband and others for sexual assault over nine years. She emphasized the importance of solidarity among women globally in addressing violence against women. The scarf, designed by Martu artist Mulyatingki Marney, symbolizes strength and resilience. It features art representing healing saltwater pools, reflecting a connection to the Martu people's culture and history.
