The 3 Rapes That Led Noelie to Euthanasia. Her Last Words Are Heartbreaking

The tragic story of Noelie Castillo, a 25-year-old Spanish woman who chose euthanasia after a series of rapes and the severe consequences she suffered, is shocking Spain. Noelie, after three sexual assaults, became paraplegic and faced serious psychological problems. She revealed that the first attack was by a former partner, the second in a nightclub, and the third, a gang rape, in an entertainment venue in October 2022. After a suicide attempt, Noelie became paraplegic and applied for euthanasia, which was approved due to her serious condition. Her last words to her family were a plea for peace and an end to her suffering. This case has raised serious concerns about the protection of women from sexual violence and the right to self-determination.
