“And I do it for her. And also for other girls who have experienced the same thing, but don’t report it. And that is not fair. I just want justice. It’s the only thing I can do for my daughter, Noelia Castillo. That she will never be forgotten. Thank you for listening to me.”

Previous reports detailed how Noelia was sexually assaulted on two separate occasions — first by an ex-boyfriend, and later by three men while living in a state-run care facility in 2022.

Just days after the second attack, she attempted to take her own life by jumping from a fifth-floor window. The fall left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Noelia first applied for euthanasia more than a year ago, but the process was delayed by a lengthy legal battle led by her own father, Geronimo Castillo.

“My father saw me fall and couldn’t do anything. But after everything he’s done, I don’t feel sorry for him anymore,” she said in an interview with Y Ahora Sonsoles.

“He hasn’t respected my decision and he never will.”

In one of her final television interviews, Noelia spoke about the disagreement within her family over her decision to die by euthanasia.

The 25-year-old said: “None of my family is in favour of euthanasia, obviously, because I’m another pillar of the family. But what about the pain that I’ve suffered all of these years?”

She also added: “The happiness of a father or a mother should not supersede the happiness of a daughter.”
