St Maria Goretti

An Italian girl killed after resisting an attempted sexual assault, remembered for courage and forgiveness without erasing the crime. Later retellings have sometimes handled sexual violence in ways that require trauma-aware correction.

Bodily dignity, courage and forgiveness that does not deny justice or safeguarding.

A companion for survivors and safeguarding work only when presented without purity myths or victim-blaming.
