Gisèle Pelicot has been given France's top award after publicly testifying at her mass-rape trial last year. The 72-year-old was named knight of the Legion of Honour on a list announced ahead of France's Bastille Day. Pelicot waived her right to anonymity during the high-profile trial against her husband who had drugged and raped her, in addition to inviting dozens of strangers to also abuse her over nearly a decade. French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Pelicot as a trailblazer, saying that her "dignity and courage moved and inspired France and the world".
