Coniglio supports ‘Stella’ campaign

 Elias Jahshan – Parramatta Advertiser

Coming from a family of women, Stephen Coniglio is a natural ambassador for the Stella Fella campaign.

The Greater Western Sydney Giants midfielder joins other male sportsmen and celebrities in throwing their support behind the campaign, which aims to encourage men to buy bow ties to show their respect and a commitment to protect and value all women, especially in relation to worldwide human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

“I think every guy should support this, 100 per cent,” Coniglio said. “When you’re buying the ties, it’s going to a great cause.”

All funds raised through bow tie sales for Stella Fella will be contributed to Project Futures projects, in partnership with The Salvation Army’s Safe House for Trafficked Women.
