The sentence thrilled Sanremo's roommate Rula Jebreal, a journalist known for her monologue against violence against women.
"Tomorrow, ask me how the Sanremo presenters were dressed, ask how Jebreal was dressed, but never ask a woman how she was dressed the day they were raped. Never ask again! My mother, Nadia, was afraid from this question and she couldn't, like many other women, we don't want to be afraid anymore.
I owe it to my mother, I owe it to myself. We owe it to our daughters and toddlers out there. We can no longer let anyone deprive us of the right to sleep with a fairy tale. We women, want to be free in space, on time. We want to be silent, to make noise. We want to be what it is now: Music! "- this is how Rula captures the monologue that made people hold their breath for minutes.
Among other things, the analyst said that her childhood was very painful:
"I grew up in an orphanage with other little ones. Every night we were telling a story and all, it was sad tales. We were telling the story of our mothers, raped, raped, tortured ..."
Initially, the participation of Rula Jebreal was not supported by a good portion of Italians.
Her earlier statements - in which she called Italians racist - were not well received, but today (February 5th) all Italian portals had a monologue held at Sanremo yesterday.
