He takes his own life at 15, Student Network: 'Alias careers in every school'

The news of the suicide yesterday of a 15-year-old girl "leaves us deeply shocked and angry - says Simone Montori, regional coordinator of the Network of Middle School Students of Lazio - we cannot continue to ignore how much discrimination and the absence of safe spaces affect the lives of young people. We ask the Government how much longer we will have to wait to guarantee everyone the right to be recognised, respected and protected". For the student union, it is necessary for Minister Valditara to assume his responsibilities, promoting concrete policies to combat discrimination. Among the priorities are the activation of alias careers in all schools and the introduction of structured courses of emotional and sexual education. For these demands the student union will be in the streets on November 20th, on the occasion of the student strike.

The Rome Prosecutor's Office is investigating the death of a 15-year-old girl for incitement to suicide, who died after falling from the fifth floor of an apartment building in northern Rome. The tragedy occurred on Wednesday 11 November.

The investigation, coordinated by prosecutor Antonio Clemente, is currently against unknown persons but the investigations aim to reconstruct the context in which the young woman's dramatic decision took place. The parents reportedly reported to the police that the minor was undergoing a gender transition process. The objective of the investigator is to ascertain whether there are any incidents of bullying behind the tragic gesture. The magistrate has already ordered the autopsy examination, which will be performed at the Gemelli Polyclinic.
