In 2025, Virginie Efira will play Gis\u00e8le Halimi in the film Hors la loi<\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Ufilm adaptation of the famous Bobigny trial. A powerful role for an emblematic figure of feminism. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Gis\u00e8le Halimi: a fighting lawyer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Gis\u00e8le Halimi was a tireless lawyer and activist. Today, she remains one of the leading figures in the fight for women’s rights. Known for her determination and commitment, she made history by defending the young Marie-Claire Chevalier<\/strong> in 1972<\/strong>. Marie-Claire Chevalier, who had been raped and put on trial for having an abortion. <\/p>\n\n

This historic trial, known as the Bobigny trial<\/strong>, highlighted the absurdity of French legislation at the time. Voluntary interruption of pregnancy was still illegal. Thanks to Gis\u00e8le Halimi’s forceful plea and unprecedented media coverage, Marie-Claire was acquitted. This paved the way for the legalization of abortion in 1975<\/strong> with the Veil law. <\/p>\n\n
