Soon a public facility called Gisèle-Halimi in Saint-Denis

His name is inseparable from Seine-Saint-Denis and the “Bobigny trial” in 1972, which ended with the release of Marie-Claire Chevalier, a 16-year-old girl who had an abortion after her rape. Gisèle Halimi, a lawyer and feminist who had defended her and who had just died on July 28, at the age of 93, contributed to the culmination of the Veil law and the legalization of abortion in 1975. The socialist municipality of Saint-Denis intends to pay homage to him by baptizing a public facility in his name.
