Has Dominique Strauss-Kahn case changed French attitudes?
Women's groups in France say they have seen a huge increase in the number of women coming forward to claim sexual harassment in the wake of the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
The former head of the International Monetary fund was expected to stand as a candidate in France's presidential elections next year, but was charged with trying to rape a hotel maid - a claim he has denied.
The reporting of the trial has lifted the lid on inequality, harassment and, in the worst cases, sexual abuse within French society.
