«The objective of our association is to help those who are afraid to report. Sara believed in these values, she was against violence against women, she was until the end. With her no she didn’t want to agree to go out with that boy.” This was said during the first public event in Palermo of the ‘Sara Campanella Ets’ association by Alex Campanella, father of the 22-year-old stabbed and killed in Messina last March by a university colleague, Stefano Argentino, who then took his own life in prison. The young girl’s parents have set up an association, which bears their daughter’s name, to prevent violence.
«Sara’s story is anomalous – he continued – but the association was created above all for this reason, to help weak people. We have already received the testimonies of some girls who were afraid and who reported. They found courage. Sara is no longer here, but she is already starting to help other girls who are in need.”
